What are the typical demographics of homeless veterans?
As troops return from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the face of veteran homelessness has changed: homeless veterans are increasingly younger, female, and heads of households. Despite this, homeless veterans are still most likely to be males between the ages of 51 and 61 (43 percent) and to have served in the Vietnam War.
And, in the next 10 to 15 years, it is projected that the number of homeless veterans over the age of 55 could increase drastically.
