Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles - Bill Smith Homeless Veterans Project
Homeless Veterans make up a third to half of the
homeless population in Los Angeles. Veterans benefits can greatly
improve the lives of men and women who served our country and are now
forgotten, but the Veterans Administration moves very slowly, often
taking years for claims to be processed. Stabilizing the living
situation of veterans who are waiting for their claims to be resolved is
critical, so they will still be around when the process finally comes to
an end. LAFLA's Bill Smith Homeless Veterans Project helps to: Secure
government benefits for veterans; Stabilize their living situation; Get
homeless veterans back on their feet and permanently improve their lives.
