Housing-first approach helps veterans escape homelessness
Bergbauer, a former Marine, struggled after 2010 housing loss and shelter cycles in Ambler Pennsylvania. Experts like Dennis Culhane and Vincent Kane cite the housing-first model guiding VA funding, moving veterans into permanent housing with supportive services. HUD counts show veteran homelessness down from 75,609 in 2009 to 57,849 in 2013, aided by rapid rehousing and subsidies. Bergbauer now rents a West Philadelphia two-bedroom with Pathways support after VA rent subsidies.
