Homeless Veterans in the United States (blog #5)

Way too many Veterans are homeless in the United States. These people served in the military to protect our freedom and we don't provide shelter for them ? I believe that the United States should help any Veteran that is homeless and provide them with food and shelter. Mostly people that served in Vietnam are homeless. Most Veterans have a lack of education, so it's harder for them to find jobs to support themselves. Also they may be injured or suffer from mental illnesses that prevent them from getting certain jobs. United States Senate, Brown, pledged to eliminate homelessness among veterans. He would like to eliminate this by expanding legal services and housing opportunities. The Homeless Veterans Prevention Act also helps women in providing a place for them. About 15 percent of homeless veterans are women, but most housing programs are only for men. Brown's goal is to end all homelessness of veterans by 2015. I would hope that veteran homelessness ends.
