Native American Veteran Homeless Initiative

Description

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is hosting a webinar to provide an overview of the Native American Veteran Homelessness Initiative.  The Initiative’s overall goal is to develop relationships between VA and organizations serving Native Americans to provide education on VA resources and promote encouraging Native American Veterans to access these services.  These organizations include Federal/tribal partnerships, mainly Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs), Indian Health Service (IHS) and tribal medical facilities, and other tribal government agencies (such as Tribally Designated Housing Entities). This Initiative aims to ensure every urban Native American Veteran experiencing homelessness or at risk of being homeless receives the needed resources and assistance offered by VA.

Commitments made by Federal partners will incorporate the Initiative goals into the VHA-IHS MOU Annual Operational Plan.
