Homeless Veterans

The Legion is here to provide immediate and long-term support for Veterans in need. Take the first step towards accessing support and assistance by reaching out to a Provincial Command Service Officer today.

There are a number of things that lead to homelessness such as:

 

• Mental Health Challenges

• Substance Abuse

• Housing Affordability

• Transition Challenges

• Financial Hardship

• Legal Issues

• Lack of Support Networks

Our program’s mission is to reach out to homeless Veterans and those at-risk of homelessness and provide them with immediate financial assistance and support. It also connects them with the social and community services to establish a long term solution to meet their needs.

While the “Leave the Streets Behind” program is operating in Ontario, British Columbia/Yukon, Alberta/North West Territories, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia/Nunavut and New Brunswick Commands, supports and services through the Legion are available for homeless and near-homeless Veterans and their families across the country.
 
 

If you, or a Veteran or family member you know is homeless or at-risk of homelessness, contact a Legion Command Service Officer.
