Oklahoma Native American Veterans go from homeless to housed. How VA is addressing barriers for Native American Veterans. The words “homeless” and “Veteran” should not exist together, and ensuring Veterans have access to services that can help them with homelessness is amongst VA’s top priorities. Homelessness among Native American Veterans is of special focus for VA as Native Americans serve in the military at higher rates than other subpopulations of Americans. But part of accessing these services is being aware of them. It’s crucial for VA to make Veterans aware of the services they have access to, particularly when it comes to VA’s homeless assistance resources.? This month is?National Native American Heritage Month?which acknowledges the history and critical contributions of Native people along with Native American Heritage Day (November 24) when their rich culture, accomplishments and heritage are honored and celebrated. In honor of that, we’re proud to spotlight our video series From Homeless to Housed: Stories From Native American Veterans Assisted Through VA. This video features the inspiring stories of Native American Veterans in Oklahoma who overcame homelessness after becoming aware of and accessing services through VA’s programs. https://lnkd.in/gGw3zsm5
