On any given night in 2020, over 37,000 veterans were homeless and 15,000 remained unsheltered in the US. Disabled veterans account for about 50% of people who are homeless. It is a sad fact that even NC, which calls itself a “military-friendly” state, is twelfth nationally for the highest rate of homelessness among veterans.
Therefore, We the undersigned urge Governor Cooper and the NC General Assembly to increase housing, health care, and employment resources to help all our homeless veterans. (From NC Veterans for Peace)
