PROVIDENCE – The number of homeless veterans declined 5.4 percent year over year in 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Thursday, decreasing from 40,020 to 37,878 veterans nationwide.

In Rhode Island, out of step with the national decline, the number of homeless veterans in 2018 increased to 103 veterans from 95 the previous year and 89 the year before that.

“We are proud of the collaborative frontline efforts being made by our Rhode Island partners working to end veteran homelessness,” said David Tille, HUD New England regional administrator, in a statement. “Our mission is not yet completed but by working together we are confident that we will end veteran homelessness across New England.”
