Screening program hopes to aid veteran homelessness
For the past year, a screening program at the West Haven campus of the Veterans’ Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System has been connecting homeless veterans with housing and clinical services to assist with cognitive and functional impairments. The program, the first of its kind, has so far been an overall success for connecting veterans to resources, according to Theddeus Iheanacho, professor of psychiatry. The program has helped an average of eight veterans per month.
