NCHV Statement on Possible Government Shutdown: Congress must keep its promise to the nations veterans

2025-09-30T16:15:47+00:00

The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) urges Congress to finalize funding legislation and authorize continued operations of critical homeless-veteran programs — especially Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) — without delay.

Program authorizations must be enacted — whether they remain in the Continuing Resolution or are enacted [...]

Statement from the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans on the Executive Order on Homelessness

2025-07-25T21:54:50+00:00

These measures represent a significant departure from evidence-based, community-informed solutions that have helped reduce veteran homelessness by over 50% over the past decade. According to the 2024 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR), over 14,000 veterans sleep outside on any given night—all who will be subject to civil commitment. Veterans fought for this [...]
