The Department of Veterans Affairs will be holding its Homeless Veterans Summit, entitled "Ending Homelessness Among Veterans in Five Years," on November 3-5 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC.

 

This summit will bring together specialists in homeless prevention and intervention services from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); other federal departments and agencies; tribal, state and local governments; community organizations; and other stakeholders.  The summit gives participants a chance to share information, innovative ideas, and best practices with colleagues from across the country while creating partnerships that will help the VA achieve President Obama and Secretary Shinseki's goal to end homelessness among veterans.

 

The VA encourages homeless service providers to attend and present at the conference.

 

Persons interested in attending must submit a registration form by the October 16^th deadline.
