"I’m calling to tell you about a new resource for

US Veterans who may be experiencing

homelessness. The Department of Veterans

Affairs has created a toll-free, national hotline

for veterans to provide free, 24-hour access to

VA counselors and other resources that might

help you. If you call during normal business

hours hotline staff will ask you a few questions

to figure out what you need, then they will

transfer you to a live person at your local VA

medical center. If you call outside of business

hours, hotline staff will give you a phone

number and the address of the facility nearest

to you.

To call the Homeless Veteran hotline, dial

1-877-424-3838. Again, this is a toll-free call,

and is available 24 hours a day. That number

again is 1-877-424-3838.

If you call, please let them know that you heard

about the hotline from Community Voice Mail.

Please pass the word to any friends or family

members who are veterans and may be

experiencing homelessness. Thanks!"

Agency of the Week

More than a shelter...

Since 1985, Open House Ministries has provided shelter, safety, and hope to families without homes. Their program equips families with life skills and foundational tools to help regain healthy, independent live. At the heart of their program is the recognition that overcoming issues of homelessness requires time and transitional support. Since the shelter is privately funded, they are able to offer services and support beyond the 60 days associated with tax-supported programs.
