KENTUCKY HOMELESS VETERAN HOUSING RESOURCE GUIDE RELEASED

LOUISVILLE - The HUD Kentucky Office has released a new Homeless Veteran Housing Resource Guide that is available on their website at www.hud.gov/kentucky. This resource guide outlines by county the different types of housing assistance that is available as well as information on accessing that assistance.

The resource guide is in support of the Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness by the end of 2015.

"No veteran who has served our country should ultimately be homeless, jobless, or without medical assistance," said HUD Kentucky Field Office Director Christopher Taylor. "This resource guide is offered to help all homeless veterans and their service providers help them find safe, decent, and affordable housing."

To date, more than 225 local elected officials in Kentucky have pledged their support for the Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness.

For more information on housing homeless veterans, please contact the HUD Kentucky Office at (502) 582-5251 and press '0'.
