Though the risk for veterans to become homeless is higher than that of the general population, we're making so much progress! In fact, the rate of homelessness among vets is the lowest it's been since tracking began in 2009 🏠

As SNAP benefits are being reloaded, it's important to be vigilant against skimming. Once stolen, BENEFITS CANNOT BE REPLACED.

State and local orgs recommend freezing your card right away: Securely log in to your account and tap “Freeze Card” under “Account Services.”
