WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced its 2024 goals in support of its efforts to prevent and end Veteran homelessness. Specifically, in fiscal year 2024, VA will:

  • Place at least 41,000 Veterans experiencing homelessness into permanent housing.
  • Ensure that at least 95% of the Veterans housed in FY 2024 do not return to homelessness during the year.
  • Engage with at least 40,000 unsheltered Veterans to help them obtain housing and other wraparound services.

Ending Veteran homelessness is a top priority of VA and the entire Biden Administration. Thanks in part to VA’s efforts, the number of Veterans experiencing homelessness has fallen by nearly 5% since early 2020 and by more than 52% since 2010.

Emergency Medical Care Coverage

What to know if you get care outside of VA

If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, you shouldn’t hesitate to get emergency care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room quickly. A medical emergency is an injury, illness, or symptom so severe that without immediate treatment, you believe your life or health is in danger.

Some Veterans live far away from a VA emergency room and need to get care quickly. If you go to a non-VA emergency department for care, VA may still offer coverage.

Notifying VA is necessary for getting coverage and sharing important medical updates. We have the information you need to make it happen.

Notify VA as soon as possible
