A disproportionate number of veterans come from and return to small towns and rural America. Approximately 5.6 million\, or 11.4 percent\, of the rural population served in the military\, accounting for a quarter of all veterans in 2010. Rural America serves\, but this service is then often overlooked. Veterans are also not a homogenous group\, nor are their needs. As two wars overseas wind down\, more veterans are coming home. At the same time the demographic changes associated with the baby boom generation and the overall greying of America will also impact veterans’ needs in rural areas. Providing critical programs can be particularly challenging in rural America due to vast geographies\, limited resources\, and less social service infrastructure. \n This third annual symposium will provide information on housing\, health\, and other needs and programs for older veterans. This event will draw attention to this sometimes forgotten group\, and showcase model programs that help. A special focus will be on serving rural veterans. \n Co-sponsored by The Home Depot Foundation\, JPMorgan Chase\, and the Wells Fargo Foundation the conference will also feature a presentation on data and demographic information about veterans. HAC is a national nonprofit that helps rural communities build affordable housing and communities. One of our initiatives is service to rural veterans. \n There is no registration fee to attend this symposium. However\, advance registration is required.

SUMMARY:Serving Veterans in Rural America: A Symposium

America’s veterans disproportionately are from rural areas and small towns. Rural veterans make up over 40 percent of enrollees in the VA’s health system. While 21 percent of the US population is rural\, 25 percent of the nation’s veterans live in rural communities. Youths from rural zip codes are 22 percent more likely to enlist than young people from cities. And within a decade an astounding 70 percent of rural veterans will be age 65 and over. Rural America serves\, but this service is then often forgotten.\n \nInvited Speakers:  Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)\, Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL)\, Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)\, Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)\, Rep.
