New Publication: Military Family Literature and Resource Review
The National Center on Family Homelessness recently released Understanding the Experience of Military Families and Their Returning War Fighters: Military Literature and Resource Review. Military families face unique stresses associated with deployment and reintegration into civilian life. This review provides a snapshot of the key issues affecting military families during and after their time of service, as well as the impact of adverse military experiences, which can lead to unemployment and homelessness. The Walmart Foundation underwrote the work that led to the creation of the multi-side demonstration project Community Circles of Support for Veterans Families, and this literature and resource review.

| New Program: Community Collaborative for Change
A grant from the Administration for Children and Families Compassion Capital Fund will allow The National Center on Family Homelessness to create the Community Collaborative for Change (CCC). The National Center will work with 10 to 12 community and faith-based organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to improving outcomes for residents of Boston's "inner core" region. The new program will build organizational capacity in four critical areas: Leadership Development; Organizational Development; Program Development; and Community Engagement.
