Finding A Solution For Idaho's Homeless Veterans

Many of our veterans come home from active military service to find a lack of resources to help them get settled back into civilian life. As rental prices soar, many veterans are on the verge of homelessness. We take a look at a new initiative that the City of Boise is putting together to find permanent housing for vets.

Further resources:

  • Veteran’s Homeless Hotline: 1-877-4AID-VET (1-877-424-3838)
  • Veteran’s Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255 (Press 1)
  • Boise VA Health Care for Homeless Veterans’ Program: (208) 422-1000 Ext. 1039 or john.randall@va.gov 
  • Fundraising Campaign
