On any given night, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that 40,056 veterans are homeless. Nearly 13% of the nation’s homeless are veterans despite making up only 6.2% of the population.

A nonprofit, Mission Roll Call, seeks to end issues that plague veterans across America such as homelessness, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and rocky transitions to civilian life.
