County leaders are pushing for housing reform policies that address the specific needs of homeless veterans.
If the policy passes, the county will work internally and externally to bring together stakeholders, lawmakers, local representatives and those who have experienced homelessness to come up with a playbook for helping homeless veterans. Fletcher emphasized the notion that one size does not fit all when dealing with the homeless epidemic. To make these sweeping changes, county staff, nonprofits and organizations on the ground will have to go person-to-person and assist.
Fletcher said personalized case management, building more shelters and wrap-around services are a must to treat drug addiction or mental health issues. But also, attracting landlords to house the homeless has already become an obstacle. Grey agrees. He works with several organizations that connect homeless veterans with housing and other resources, specifically addressing the nuances and obstacles that emerge during the processes like credit checks.
