On Monday, homeless veterans were handed some welcome news from the United States Department of Labor. The news announced is that the Department of Labor will commit over $20 million to fund job training and support services for veterans who are homeless. There will be 90 grants awarded using the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program in order to provide on-the-job training, placement assistance and job search assistance along with follow-up services.

“Americans who have served their country should not find themselves without a home,†Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis said in a press release. “The grants announced today will help these heroes find good jobs and take us one step closer to the goal of ending veteran homelessness altogether.â€

According to the government’s first-ever veteran homelessness study, veterans are 50 percent more likely to wind up without a place to call home than most other U.S. citizens. The study was released in 2011. Homeless vets are also more likely to contract a life-threatening disease than other homeless people, according to a 100,000 Homes Campaign study that was published in November.

Plenty of returning service member said that they do not want handouts. Instead, they would like hands-on training programs much like the ones that will be funded from the $20 million from the Department of Labor.
