Was a story on NPR this morning about the federal push to get permanent housing for Veterans (story here).  Mentioned that the state of Minnesota is offering incentives of $1,000 for each Vet (newly) housed by the end of January.  A DC initiative was also mentioned.

As the story quotes Eric Grumdahl of MN, "we are asking landlords to affirmatively choose to house veterans who, frankly, in this market would be very easy to screen out..." - but if you have appropriate housing, having the incentives certainly helps!

Didn't see another mention on BP, so figured I'd spread the word.  May well be programs in other areas as well.
