This #GivingTuesday, Make a Gift to NCHV Funds raised strengthen programs, resources to end veteran homelessness We hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend! NCHV is thankful for each of you who work in your communities to help veterans off the street and into permanent sustainable housing. We are equally thankful to each of you whose work is connected to those efforts in some way, and to those who work in other fields who simply find it unacceptable that nearly 40,000 veterans of our country's armed forces are still homeless on a given night.
