Homelessness among US Veterans is a problem that has existed for more than five decades, and the health and social well-being of our Veterans are of major public concern. This introductory chapter sets the tone for the book and describes what Veteran homelessness is, how it is defined, and key historical events in the conceptualization and approach to Veteran homelessness. The chapter begins with a case study of a homeless Veteran, followed by a brief discussion of how homelessness is defined and why homeless Veterans are a population of public health importance. The author provides a selective detailed history of Veteran homelessness starting in the 1800s and the Civil War to the present day with ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The chapter concludes with a brief overview of the other 10 chapters in this book and the work of leading thinkers in the field that together provide a comprehensive text on the programs, services, and research related to the care of homeless US Veterans.
