Arizona State Parks hire homeless veterans

Why are any veterans homeless??

The answer is simple but complicated. When one comes back from battle, the re-adjustment to civilian life is very difficult. It's not a switch that can be just turned off. You can't just give someone a house and expect all to be well. Truthfully, this program sounds like it is one leg of what should be a much larger comprehensive program for re-adjustment to civilian life. Suicide has grown significantly amongst veterans. While the army has a very comprehensive program for suicide prevention, I believe the program is fairly new. That program, the Arizona program, these are all steps in the right direction. We have a long way to go, but at least there is some progress.
