Positive news! On Thursday, city and federal officials announced that homelessness among military veterans has effectively ended. This means that every veteran in the city of Philadelphia who wants or needs housing officially has access to it.
Since August 2013, reports Philadelphia News, 1,390 Philadelphia veterans have been connected to permanent housing. Only 15 remain on the street, and that’s their choice as they “don’t want to be housed,” says the city’s mayor.
At a recent City Hall news conference, Mayor Nutter addressed the remaining veterans living on the streets:
I have a message for each of you who are still out there. We honor your service and your sacrifices. You deserve a home. We won’t give up on you.
