Oakland, CA, Novermeber 25, 2013 – As our veterans return to their families, many of them will not have a place to call home. In Alameda County alone, a recent census counted almost 500 homeless veterans on any given night. This doesn't include those persons and families as risk of loosing their housing over the coming holiday season!
