Of 10,524 homeless veterans assessed in a 43-site VA program, 50 percent served during the Vietnam War era, compared to only 29 percent of all veterans in the general population. This reflects the greater risk of homelessness among men aged 30-44 rather than the impact of Vietnam Era service. The proportion of homeless veterans who served in the Vietnam Theater (44.9 percent), and the proportion exposed to combat fire (40.5 percent) were similar to those of nonhomeless veterans. Homeless combat veterans who are not White were more likely to have psychiatric, alcohol, and medical problems than homeless noncombat Vietnam veterans who are not White.
在一项由43个退伍军人事务部（VA）项目点对10524名无家可归退伍军人进行的评估中，50%的人在越南战争时期服役，而普通人群中所有退伍军人的这一比例仅为29%。这反映出30 - 44岁男性无家可归的风险更高，而非越战时期服役的影响。在越南战区服役的无家可归退伍军人比例（44.9%）以及经历过战火的比例（40.5%）与非无家可归退伍军人相似。非白人的无家可归参战退伍军人比非白人的无家可归非参战越战退伍军人更有可能出现精神、酒精和医疗问题。
