Women Vets: Avoid Being Homeless or Get Help if You Are!


While VA's services are available to all Veterans, there are special programs available to women Veterans to help them stay on their feet and avoid the indignity of becoming homeless.
If you’re a women Veteran who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless (or know someone who is), connect with VA services by calling:
1–877–4AID–VET
You will chat with trained counselors who will link you to help and support.

All homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk of homelessness are encouraged to connect with VA services by calling the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AID-VET (1-877-424-3838), or online at www.veteranscrisisline.net.


REMEMBER: if you are a homeless veteran you can walk into any VA Medical Center and ask for "Patient Care Services Representative" because you are homeless and they will help you on the spot. Homeless veterans, whether enrolled in VA or not, will NOT be turned away.
