Due to the transient nature of this problem, it is likely that many more go uncounted. Homelessness is often defined as living homeless for 12 months or having four episodes of homelessness in three years.<\/p>\n<p>For some veterans, holding on to the home they have is also a challenge.\u00a0 City Council Chairman Henderson described the situation of a 92-year-old WWII veteran in Lookout Valley. Henderson explained it took fundraisers and volunteer help to give the man much needed assistance with his house, which had been condemned.\u00a0 \u201cThe roof leaked, the ceiling was falling in, the outside had grown up,\u201d Henderson said.\u00a0 \u201cTwo weeks ago the work was completed.\u00a0 This man landed on the beaches of Normandy.\u00a0 We helped him stay in his home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berke said Chattanooga is the only city in Tennessee that has vowed to take action for homeless veterans.\u00a0 He called it \u201ca great opportunity for our city to show who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A task force appointed to address chronic veterans\u2019 homelessness in Chattanooga gathered recently for the first time on the UTC campus.
