Heat Records/ Homless Veterans

Missoulian: Start of 2012, March shatter US heat records

U.S. records warmest March; more than 15,000 warm temperature records broken
“Record and near-record breaking temperatures dominated the eastern two-thirds of the nation and contributed to the warmest March on record for the contiguous United States, a record that dates back to 1895. More than 15,000 warm temperature records were broken during the month.”

Helena Independent Record: More women vets are homeless, but housing scarce

For Women Veterans and Their Families
“Many women Veterans face challenges when returning to civilian life that are different from those of their male counterparts, including raising children on their own or dealing with the psychological after effects of events such as military sexual trauma. These issues, without intervention, can put women Veterans at greater risk of becoming homeless. This makes VA’s efforts to provide housing and health care support all the more critical. It is a challenge VA continues to embrace.”
