The Cigna Group Foundation is committing $9 million over three years to address the mental health of military veterans and the significant impact that social determinants of health have on the mental health of veterans. Specifically, we will focus on improving housing stability among veterans. Across the United States, veterans face an elevated risk of homelessness relative to the general population.
On any given night, an estimated 40,000 veterans go without shelter, and another 1. 5 million veterans are considered at-risk of homelessness. 1 Research shows that veterans experiencing housing instability are at an increased risk of mental distress disorders.
