This month, we are joined by Mrs. Monica Diaz, Executive Director of the Homeless Programs Office with the Department of Veterans Affairs to reflect on how 2022 impacted Veterans experiencing homelessness and housing instability. Mrs. Diaz talks about the major initiatives VA implemented this year and shares her thoughts about how relentlessness is critical to the work. Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
