Kentucky is trying to increase support for homeless military veterans.
The state is offering housing vouchers for homeless veterans in 87 counties, including Warren, Pulaski, Daviess, and Hardin.
Leslie Talley is with Community Action of Southern Kentucky, an agency helping veterans in the region apply for the vouchers.
She says the voucher program is run by the Kentucky Housing Corporation.
“There is some paperwork that has to be downloaded from the KHC site. They don’t have to come to us to do that. They can do that themselves, but we’d be more than happy to help a veteran get housed.”
Other counties involved in the voucher program for homeless veterans include Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Monroe, and Simpson.
