Reply to comment by gsoClarke in New data from the VA and HUD shows there was an 11% decline in veteran homelessness since 2020 and 55% since 2010. by NewsYouCanShmooze
My first thought was also wondering about how deaths might play into this. Vets who did combat are an aging population.

For the 2020 to 2022 period - wasn’t most of the country under an eviction/foreclosure moratorium? I wonder if that plays a part.

Good point. That probably did play a role. We can conclude the moratorium had a positive outcome.

How many vets died from covid complications or opioid overdoses during that period?

And, being homeless, makes both of their problems more deadly.
