SUMMARY:Access to Health and Homeless Services for Rural Veterans
DESCRIPTION:Materials Posted\nPower Point Presentation | Webinar Recording | Webinar Q&A Transcript \nA disproportionate number of veterans come from and return to small towns and rural America. Join this webinar to learn more about ways to serve this sometimes forgotten group. Participants in the webinar will hear from two key agencies of the US Dept. of Veterans’ Affairs — the Office of Rural Health and the Center on Homelessness. Leaders of these agencies will discuss opportunities for rural nonprofits to work with the VA to provide housing and services to veterans. Rural homeless veterans face a lack of opportunities for safe shelter compared to urban or suburban veterans. Participants will also learn more about the challenges of serving rural veterans and the impact of successful VA programs on such service.

SUMMARY:From Service to Shelter: Housing Veterans in Rural America
DESCRIPTION:Materials Posted\nPower Point Presentation  |  Webinar Recording \nThe Housing Assistance Council (HAC) is pleased to invite you to participate in a webinar on demographic changes regarding veterans in rural America. As two wars overseas wind down\, more veterans will be coming home\, while at the same time the demographic changes associated with the baby boom generation and the overall greying of America will also impact veteran’s needs in rural America. In the next ten years\, over 70 percent of all veterans in rural America will be over the age of 65 placing increased pressure on the housing and health needs of rural veterans. \nOn the opposite end of the age spectrum\, younger veterans\, returning from Iraq or Afghanistan\, are more diverse and face different economic and housing challenges. Although these veterans comprise just 7.6 percent of the total rural veteran population\, they are more diverse and face different economic and housing challenges than their older counterparts. Minority and female veterans are a much larger segment of this population as well and maintain differing needs than older veterans. Beyond this\, younger veterans face higher unemployment and poverty rates than older veterans. Approximately 10 percent of veterans between the ages of 18 to 34 are unemployed and 12 percent have incomes below the poverty line. \nFor their sacrifice\, it is imperative that all veterans have access to safe\, affordable\, and secure housing. This can be particularly challenging in rural America due to vast geographies\, limited resources\, and less social service infrastructure. Join the Housing Assistance Council’s webinar on June 25th to learn more about these challenges as well as the demographic shifts reported on in HAC’s new publication From Service to Shelter and the implications that these realities will have on providing affordable and appropriate housing to rural veterans. \nThis webinar is supported by The Home Depot Foundation. For more information\, please email Janice Clark at janice@ruralhome.org. \nRegister Now! https://ruralhome.adobeconnect.com/e7t536khd3s/event/event_info.html.

SUMMARY:Conducting Homeless Counts on Native American Lands - A Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:View the recording of this webinar and download the presentation. \nThe Housing Assistance Council (HAC) invites you to participate in the “Conducting Homeless Counts on Native American Lands: A Toolkit” webinar that highlights strategies for Native American communities to conduct internal homeless counts on their lands. Topics include: outreach\, engagement\, survey planning\, survey implementation\, partnering amongst researchers and intermediaries\, and funding. \nIt is often difficult to address homelessness on Native American lands\, due to the challenge in quantifying the number of actual homeless individuals living therein. While there is ‘literal’ homelessness on Native American lands\, many Native Americans also live in extremely crowded conditions with family and relatives which is another\, less visible\, form of homelessness. Places with small\, spread-out populations\, like most Native American lands\, typically have few shelters or service providers forcing homeless individuals to rely on strong kinship networks to find a place to stay. Issues surrounding tribal mistrust of the federal government\, a lack of understanding of tribal sovereignty and diversity among Indian nations by outside entities\, cultural competencies\, and legal complexities associated with tribal lands create additional challenges to conducting an accurate count. \nBased upon past research as well as interviews with key stakeholders in the field\, the webinar will provide insights on how to conduct outreach\, plan homeless surveys\, partner with other researchers and organizations\, and secure funding. \n\nAbout the PresenterEric OberdorferResearch AssociateHousing Assistance Council  \nEric Oberdorfer is a Research Associate at the Housing Assistance Council (HAC) in Washington\, DC.
