Stand Down Aims to Reduce Veteran Homelessness
Medical care, mental health professionals and housing providers are working to end homelessness for Veterans by taking part in the annual Operation Stand Down.
The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 at HOPE Connections on 2350 Levy St. in Shreveport.
All homeless Veterans and their families, or those who are facing impending homelessness, are eligible for services.
Services available that day will include medical care, benefits assistance, housing providers, job placement, legal aid, and others. Veterans will also be able to take advantage of food, showers and hair cuts at HOPE Connections.
This year’s event is sponsored by the Department of Veteran Affairs, HOPE for the Homeless and Volunteers of America of North Louisiana.
