Some of the Veterans who fought for your freedom are now fighting for survival on the streets.  In Utah, Veterans make up 8% of the Homeless Population.  While we have seen an almost a 40% decrease in recent years, across the nation, roughly 40,000 Veterans still remain homeless.  

These Veterans not only struggle with safety and shelter. Sometimes the legal and financial burdens that come with the harsh circumstances of homelessness prove to be too much to overcome.
