A picture of the older homeless female veteran: A qualitative, case study analysis

Over the past 30  years, women have entered the military in ever-increasing numbers, leading to rising numbers of female veterans. With the military services now allowing women to enter service in direct combat roles, although they have actually seen combat in the recent wars, these numbers are predicted to climb sharply (Goldstein, Dinh, Donalson, Hebenstreit,& Maguen, 2017). In addition to the increasing numbers of female veterans, there also has been a concomitant increase in female veterans who are homeless.
