WGY6 gets the statistics on veteran homelessness from the Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education, and Networking Groups: This group was launched in 1994  to bring together providers, advocates, veterans and other concerned citizens in order to identify the needs of Homeless Veterans and to work to meet those needs through planning and cooperative action.  The new numbers come out around May every year and they are presented here for all to see how important veteran programs are to the community.
