Lawyers and doctors team up to fight veteran homelessness
NCT ID NCT04924088
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether medical-legal partnerships—where lawyers work closely with healthcare providers—can help veterans with housing problems avoid eviction and homelessness better than standard legal services alone. About 300 veterans will be randomly assigned to either the partnership approach or usual community legal help, and followed for one year to compare housing stability and mental health. The goal is to see if this team-based model makes a real difference in keeping veterans in their homes.
