A 77-year-old veteran has found a new place to live thanks to help from a social worker. The veteran had been sleeping outside a community center in Houston for weeks. He would occasionally go inside to do laundry or get a snack.

A social worker at the center worked with him daily to try to get him to accept help. Eventually, the veteran's situation changed for the better. He received housing through a special event that brought together community resources to help homeless veterans.

Further details about the veteran's story and the event that helped him are available from the source.
