I’m calling to tell you about a new resource for US Veterans who may be experiencing homelessness. The Department of Veterans Affairs has created a toll-free, national hotline for veterans to provide free, 24-hour access to VA counselors and other resources that might help you. If you call during normal business hours hotline staff will ask you a few questions to figure out what you need, then they will transfer you to a live person at your local VA medical center. If you call outside of business hours, hotline staff will give you a phone number and the address of the facility nearest to you.
To call the Homeless Veteran hotline, dial 1-877-424-3838. Again, this is a toll-free call, and is available 24 hours a day. That number again is 1-877-424-3838. For more information visit http://www1.va.gov/HOMELESS/NationalCallCenter.asp.
If you call, please let them know that you heard about the hotline from Community Voice Mail. Please pass the word to any friends or family members who are veterans and may be experiencing homelessness. Thanks!

Be Counted in the 2010 Census
The following is an important message from the President about the 2010 Census and why it’s important for everyone to be counted. If you are living at your own residence, you can expect to receive a packet in the mail soon with instructions on how to fill it out. If you are living in a shelter or another situation where you are not at your own residence, census workers will be coming to shelters on March 29th, soup kitchens and foodbanks on March 30th, and outdoor encampments on March 31st. The personal information you provide to the census bureau is totally confidential and cannot be shared with anyone, including law enforcement, immigration and other government agencies. It’s easy, safe and important, so make sure to be counted in the 2010 Census. For more information about the census and what you can expect you can call 206-501-4160 for Seattle, 425-749-5110 for the Eastside or 253-449-1150 for South King County or visit 2010.census.gov. Thank you.
[President Obama] “Every 10 years, our Constitution requires the federal government to conduct a census. This helps determine your representation in Congress, as well as how federal funds are spent on things like schools and roads, and where businesses decide to put new stores and factories. So when you get your census form in mid-March, take about 10 minutes to answer 10 questions — remembering to include everyone in your household. Because we can't move forward until you mail it back.”
