Most Armed Forces veterans make a smooth transition from military to civilian life, but some slip through the net and end up homeless. Download the No Homeless Veterans Toolkit now and let's reduce homelessness among veterans together.
Housing staff should always Think Veteran
- Identify
When someone approaches a Local Authority in housing need, it is vital to establish if that person has served in the Armed Forces so they can access the enhanced provision that is available to them.
- Support
- We’d like Local Authorities to consider how best to meet the veteran’s housing needs – whether by arranging accommodation or referring to the veterans' sector for specialist support.
We're proud to offer support to serving and former members of the Armed Forces and their families. By working collectively, we ensure a consistent approach, and share ideas and opportunities to continually improve the support we offer to veterans.

Stable housing is key to helping Veterans adjust to all aspects of civilian life - work, family, health and wellbeing. I want to encourage others and especially those on the front line dealing with homelessness, to “think Veteran” and get those ex-Service personnel who are in need of help to the support agencies that are available to them.

The Cobseo Housing Cluster, the body representing veterans' housing and homelessness services has a simple ambition: to ensure that veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness are identified and steered to the correct support as quickly as possible.
