Program to End Homelessness for Veterans Reaches Milestone
A program in Phoenix, Arizona recently reached a milestone in ending homelessness among United States veterans. The program has helped Vietnam veterans that were forgotten and lost finally find their way into a real home. Home is often more than a country or a place. Home is a place where people belong. It has been a rough road for many veterans, but they did eventually find their ways home with the assistance of Victory Place and Housing First.
Homeless Veterans in Arizona
Arizona has some of the highest rates of homeless or transient veterans. Neighboring states including Utah rely on religious organizations to provide shelter and services to veterans that served our country. However, Arizona has reached a goal that has been almost unachievable elsewhere.
Veterans that Had No True Home Return To
According to one Scottsdale veteran that had been homeless for years, “If I had to do this on my own, I’d never have made it here.” Providing support years too late is better than ignoring the problem altogether. However, there is a lesson that can be learned and applied to younger veterans today.
Treating Veterans Well in the United States
Veterans need to have a stable home and support system to return to. War is stressful on veterans as well as their friends and families. It is paramount for Americans to pull together and show our younger veterans that they have indeed arrived home, not just taken a plane back to their hometowns. Simple gifts of appreciation from Veterans Commemoratives that include personalized rings, wristwatches, and pocket knives can be a nice way to say, “Welcome home.”
Creating a Welcoming Community for Veterans
Show your support for veterans that might not be close family or friends. Different commemorative memorabilia is a nice way to show your appreciation and support. Civilians need to provide a community and a home for our veterans to return to. American veterans should not continue to face a battle at home decades after returning from active service. Veterans should come home with welcome arms, tokens of gratitude, and a community of Americans that care.
