Phoenix and Salt Lake City have already eliminated veteran homelessness in their cities. With its new system in place, New Orleans says it will be able to house a homeless veteran within an average of 30 days, according to the Times-Picayune. When a homeless veteran is identified, Unity of Greater New Orleans, or one of its partners, connects with the VAs Supportive Services for Veterans Families Program. That group confirms that the homeless person is in fact a veteran, assesses their mental and physical health and provides up to five months of rental assistance.
