Mayor’s Challenge
The Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness is an initiative of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, where mayors and other state and local leaders across the country help to marshal Federal, local, and nonprofit efforts to end Veteran homelessness in their communities.
HELP IS JUST A CALL AWAY
