Homeless Heroes

They’re heroes to many in the US, but after the jubilant homecoming parades for those returning from war, what happens next? Well, an estimated 55,000 veterans are now homeless… and that’s just the women.

Aaron Thomas hears the stories of those living on the streets, in cars and on other people’s couches.

As many as three quarters of them say they were sexually assaulted in the military, leaving them traumatised and unable to return to normal life, and then ultimately homeless.

They ask why they’ve been forced to swap one battle abroad for another in the country they served.

See Aaron’s story, and meet those determined to help the homeless heroes restore their lives.
