A U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Program-24/7 Confidential support. VA is committed to the health and wellness of our nation's Veterans, including those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The VA health care network provides care to Veterans from all service eras through Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, VA Vet Centers, and VA Hospitals.
VA offers many health care programs for homeless Veterans. If you are a homeless Veteran who needs medical assistance, contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AID-VET (1-877-424-3838) to speak to a trained VA responder. The Call Center and homeless Veterans online chat are free and neither VA registration nor enrollment in VA healthcare is required to use either service.
When you call or join the online chat:
- You will be connected to a trained VA responder.
- The responder will ask a few questions to assess your needs.
- If you’re a Veteran, you may be connected with the Homeless Program point of contact at the nearest VA facility.
- Contact information will be requested so staff may follow up.
