HUD Creates Resource Center for Veterans

A Veteran Resource Center called HUDVET has been established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Community Planning and Development in consultation with national veteran service organizations.

The goal of the center is to provide veterans and their family members with information about HUD’s community-based programs and services to enable veterans to become more involved in the community-based planning and decision-making process and utilization of services and local resources.

HUDVET has a special focus on veterans who are homeless, but is also a source of information about other programs, including governmental efforts to combat domestic violence, enhance community and economic development, aid runaway youth and increase affordable housing for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
