Abstract
In 2010, the White House promised to prevent and end homelessness among veterans in five years. However, the Intergovernmental Council on Homelessness stated that in 2013, nearly 139,857 veterans were still homeless and used an emergency shelter or transitional housing program during that year. This thesis explores the reasons for veteran homelessness and attempts to identify ways of addressing this problem so that veterans do not continue to fall through the cracks. It uses insider research in combination with ethnographic fieldwork to explore the ways that the risk factors for homelessness influences the lives of individual veterans. A combination of individual and institutional factors lead to veteran homelessness and many recommendations are made to address this problem.
