The notion that one homeless veteran is one too many is why President Barack Obama launched a plan in 2010 to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. Largely funded by the Department of Veteran Affairs, it's a $7 billion initiative that partners community groups with government agencies. It uses aggressive outreach and what's called the housing first model — that's the idea of giving permanent housing to the homeless, with no strings attached. It's already helped bring the total numbers of homeless veterans nationwide down 33 percent.
