In January 2019 during the annual Point-In-Time Count, 37,085 homeless Veterans across the United States were counted.
With just under 11,000, California easily topped all states with the most homeless Veterans in the country with the next being Florida, just over 2,472.
While the overall number of homeless Veterans did go down in America, San Diego City and County has the second largest homeless Veteran population, second to Los Angeles.
How To Get Involved
Help us give Veterans a hand up in 2021 by volunteering your talents. We need shuttle drivers, pet zone helpers, clothes sorters, registration aides and more. From our board members to our one-day volunteers, we run fully on volunteer power. Check back in for volunteer registration. Interested in helping year round? Contact us at info@ncvsd.org
