U.S. veteran homelessness trends and funding

Overview

U.S. veteran homelessness reached an all-time low in 2025, with 32,495 veterans experiencing homelessness, marking a 1.2% decrease from the previous year. While national numbers have fallen by more than 56% since 2010 due to federal investments, state-level trends remain uneven. For example, Oregon and Mississippi saw increases, while California recorded the largest numerical decline.

In response to ongoing needs, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced $1.17 billion in grants for fiscal year 2027 to support 680 organizations. This funding includes $855 million for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program to assist with case management and housing loss prevention, and $318 million for the Grant and Per Diem program, which focuses on transitional housing and specialized services for vulnerable groups such as women veterans and the elderly.
