The presentation will highlight Wisconsin-specific information gathered in preparation of this year’s Measuring Communities Spotlight Report: The Financial Well-Being of Military and Veteran Families in America, published by the MFRI.
Key findings from this year’s national report include:
- Food insecurity remains a national concern for military families, especially among minorities and families with junior enlisted members or unemployed spouses.
- Homelessness is rising among veterans, with a noticeable difference in rates among men compared to among women.
- Women veterans with service-connected disabilities experienced rising unemployment rates between 2022 to 2023.
