Roughly 40,000 veterans are homeless in America every single day, according to a report by the US Interagency Council on Homelessness.
Yet the Texas city of Abilene has succeeded at something that only eight other communities can boast: It has found a way to house its homeless veteran population.
A slew of homeless assistance organizations and Abilene Mayor Anthony Williams officially set an agenda for the city: to find a way to end homelessness for veterans in 100 days. The effort to house the city’s 30 homeless veterans began in October, and it has become a life-changing reality for veterans in the city.
