VA's Project Reach Contest to Help Homeless Find Services; DoD Changes Sexual Assault Response; Faster Claims Processing Now Available; NAMI Statement on Afghanistan Tragedy; Mentors Prove Helpful to African American Vets With Diabetes; Veterans With PTSD

In March 2012, VA announced a contest where developers are challenged to create easy, mobile access to resources that the homeless need. “This contest taps the talent and compassion of the nation’s developer community,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “We are asking them to make a free, easy-to-use Web and smartphone app that provides current information about housing, health clinics, and food banks.”
