This week the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity held a hearing to discuss the different ways women veterans are affected by different programs throughout VA. In some areas such as education and employment, women veterans are represented more favorably than non-veteran women and male veterans. However, there are areas where women veterans are underserved such as veteran homelessness programs. Women veterans have been the fastest growing population of veterans for years, and special attention must be paid to their specific needs.
