Advocates Fear a Huge Surge of Homeless Veterans as Pandemic Effects Become Clear

Military.com | By Richard Sisk

The Department of Veterans Affairs is intensifying efforts to end veteran homelessness after three years of no progress. But it could soon be overwhelmed by a tsunami of need as the full effects of a year-long pandemic and ending a moratorium on evictions become clear.

While no complete count has been made of the homeless population this year, Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge said in a March statement that her department's 2020 report of 37,250 homeless veterans was "devastating" enough.

"We know the pandemic has only made the homelessness crisis worse," she added.

Some of the businesses shut down and driven into bankruptcy by the shutdowns were owned by and/or employed veterans. Unlike the long-term homeless - the mentally ill, chemically dependent, and those choosing the lifestyle - vets are mostly the sort who will claw their way back up the economic ladder.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Easy fix. Just give the vets priority over illegal aliens for available services.

What - not an option?
