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. These programs are on the front lines of VA's response to unsheltered homelessness as this Administration prioritizes a response. If Congress fails to authorize these programs, VA will be unable to utilize funding received by advance-appropriation to carry forward its mission of ending veteran homelessness. 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

The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) expresses deep concern regarding the executive order issued on July 24, 2025, which mandates enforcement-driven approaches—such as forced removal of encampments, civil commitment for individuals with mental illness or substance use disorders, and conditional grant funding tied to punitive measures—to address homelessness. 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 [...]

2022-06-24T21:11:36+00:00

NCHV Statement on Dobbs Decision Today, the United States Supreme Court overturned the ruling in Roe v Wade that previously legalized abortions in the United States. This decision removes federal protections for abortion access and the lowest income people in this country are most likely to bear the burden. At NCHV, we are concerned about this decision and the impact it will have on veterans, including those at risk of/experiencing homelessness for several reasons. Currently, women veterans are not able to receive copay-free contraceptives from the VA, a barrier to unintended pregnancies. A report from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center [...]
