PITTSBURGH - Female veterans are estimated nationally to be about 10 percent of the roughly 50,000 veterans who are homeless on a given night. Since 2013, Project Journey of the Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania has been working to solve the problem. The local project - funded by the United Way of Allegheny County, Newman's Own Foundation and other donors - so far has provided emergency shelter for 40 female veterans and support services to 210 of them for employment and other specific issues they face.
