About this episode
This month, we are joined by Jennifer Nemeth, Business Operations and Staffing Coordinator with the VHA Homeless Programs Office to learn about how VA provides smartphones to homeless Veterans so that they can stay connected to their housing providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms. Nemeth talks about the origins of the telehomeless initiative and why, in today’s hyperconnected world, smartphones are a necessity.
Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
