Phoenix says it eradicated chronic veteran homelessness Wednesday.
Three years ago a state coalition aimed at ending chronic homelessness among veterans identified 222 living in Phoenix. As of early November, 56 remained, but a $100,000 allocation of funds enabled the city to house them all as of mid-week, winning what the mayor’s office described as a friendly competition with Utah’s Salt Lake City to become the first U.S. city to do so. Reported by Washington Post 3 days ago.
