Since 2010, there has been a 33 percent reduction on homelessness among veterans following the federal government’s launch of Opening Doors, a strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness. This reduction has been achieved through a partnership between the federal government, local governments, non-profit organizations and the private sector – making the elimination of veteran homelessness an achievable goal.

Anyone interested in donating to help end veteran homelessness through the Housing Mesa’s Heroes program should contact Lori Eastin at Community Bridges, Inc.at LEastin@cbridges.com or (480) 831-7566.
