The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs publishes the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AID-VET (1-877-424-3838), available 24/7, with a free and confidential online chat with a trained VA counselor available any time. VA states the line is for veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, family members or friends helping a veteran, and community providers supporting veterans — so a case manager may call it directly. Discharge status, eligibility, and what VA can offer are VA's decisions.
