Homelessness in America continued...
The Justice Outreach, Homelessness Prevention: Healthcare for Reentry Veterans (HCRV, prison outreach) and Veteran’s Justice Outreach (VJO, law enforcement, jail and court outreach)
Justice Outreach addresses the justice in- volvement continuum from first contact with law enforcement through release from prison or jail. Veterans Justice Outreach is designed to help justice-involved Veterans avoid the unnecessary criminalization of mental illness and extended incarceration by ensuring that eligible Veterans have timely access to Veterans Health Admin- istration mental health and substance abuse services when clinically indicated, and oth- er VA services and benefits as appropriate. Health Care for Reentry Veterans assists Veterans released from prison to readjust to community life through access to commu- nity reintegration, health, and social ser- vices provided through VA and community services.
