Get to your nearest VA office and ask for a HUDVASH voucher. It’s a program explicitly designed to prevent vet homelessness. I’ve been on it for a couple of years and am slowly working my way up and off of it. It’s a good program.

I don’t really have a financial problem. I doubt I would even qualify. I have enough in the bank to pay couple years of rent without any income coming in. And that doesn’t even include my investment holdings.
It’s that the underwriters view me as an unacceptable risk due to “my” eviction history.
And given the current market practices this is likely to keep coming up. It would likely take me weeks/months to collect documentation proving someone else was evicted since they are simply basing it on my first and last name.
Add to this my presently unemployed brother is living with me.
