The government is spending an additional £3.5 million to provide mental health services and support employment and independent living for military veterans facing homelessness.
The funding is aimed at reducing veteran homelessness through the Reducing Veteran Homelessness programme, which includes vital services such as the Op Fortitude helpline.
Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of honoring veterans, stating, 'They represent the very best of our country,' as the government pledges guaranteed housing for them.
The Armed Forces Covenant will be put fully into law, ensuring that veterans receive fair treatment and respect, reinforcing the pledge to safeguard their rights.
