Someone might have handly a demographic breakdown whichd:

1: Shows where in real numbers (or extrapolated numbers) the veteran homeless population is concerntrated.

2. The VA may have some on line data to help answer #1 above and to answer what types of diagnosis (plural intended) exist on those veterans being seen from the homeless veteran population.

After any and all shooting wars, which we are certainly involved in today, it is a matter of psychological adjustment to get away from the stress of battle(s). Over time most of us adjust routinely by simply "keeping on keeping on."

Other can only adjust partially, some few never can adjust, and I would suggest it takes an outreach program specifially for homeless veterans to work with the tough core of complicated problems psychologal (mental health) as well as literal physical needs (dental, illnesses, RX needs for to be established actual medical diagnoses).

The VA alone is not the data source on homeless veterans today vs. the not for profit and for profit hospitals and outpatient clinics, including psychiatric/psychological counseling programs, but I believe the VA remains the best single data source.

Perhaps the US Public Health Service might be a best secondary data source as they should (?) be able to add data to the VA homeless data base without double counting veterans by simply using screen out duplication via any veteran patient's SSN.
