Homeless Veterans More Likely To Die On Streets Than Other Homeless People, Study Says
Homeless veterans are more likely to die on the streets than non-veterans, a new study revealed.
Those who return from serving, to leading the homeless life are 11 percentage points more likely to develop life-threatening diseases than non-veteran homeless people, the 100,000 Homeless Campaign concluded in a study published Tuesday. The movement, which works to place homeless Americans, surveyed 23,000 homeless people across the country. It found that homeless veterans are typically older than non-veterans and tend to remain homeless for longer periods of time.
