This month, we are joined by Mr. Jeff Olivet, Executive Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), to learn more about how the recently released \u201cAll In: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness\u201d will impact Veterans. Mr. Olivet talks about common myths and misconceptions about homelessness, what the plan aims to accomplish, and where the government is going next. Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
