To date, the network has served over 20,000 Veterans and active service members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the last eight years in North Carolina, we have seen the unemployment rate of Veterans decrease from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/archives\/vet_03222016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.2%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2015 to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/vet.t06A.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.2%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2022, and the rate of homelessness among Veterans decreased by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hudexchange.info\/resource\/3031\/pit-and-hic-data-since-2007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the same time. While these yearly trends are reassuring, there is still a way to improve efficiency in care coordination: seasonal trend analysis. By utilizing real-time social care data and visualizing these needs over time, organizations can gain additional, actionable insight into the needs of the individuals they serve and improve outreach efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Leveraging Real-Time Social Care Analytics<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of all North Carolinian active service members or Veterans assisted through the Unite Us Platform since 2018, the top overall needs were housing &amp; shelter (50%), employment (26%), benefit navigation (20%), income support (18%), and food assistance (16%).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5784 \" src=\"https:\/\/uniteus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1-623x1024.png\" alt=\"leverage data to address social needs of Veterans\" width=\"479\" height=\"787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniteus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1-623x1024.png 623w, https:\/\/uniteus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1-243x400.png 243w, https:\/\/uniteus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1-768x1263.png 768w, https:\/\/uniteus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1-934x1536.png 934w, https:\/\/uniteus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image1.png 1216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/>Analyzing the needs of referred Veterans or active service members in the previous five years, we can begin to examine seasonal trends in need for those residing in North Carolina. Of the individuals sampled, the need for housing is persistent throughout the year, while the need for benefit navigation and employment assistance peaks at the start of the year. The need for financial assistance peaks during winter, and food assistance requests peak in summer and fall. (Source: Unite Us Platform data, pulled October 30, 2023)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the most recent real-time data from 2023, we can observe how this year\u2019s trends compare to the past. Proportionally, more Veterans and active service members require housing &amp; shelter throughout 2023 than in the five years prior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Unite Us, community-based organizations (CBOs) can observe real-time fluctuations in the needs of those they serve, improving planning and driving service allocation and targeted investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Proactively Identifying Social Care Needs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actively tracking service requests may only capture some of the community&#8217;s needs. For instance, due to environmental stressors specific to military personnel, there is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5587184\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased risk of substance use disorders (SUD)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; however, in our sample, this need remains proportionally scarce. To grasp the genuine need, we must consider all aspects of lived conditions and working environments to proactively identify social care needs, recognizing that the key to whole health lies in understanding the broader spectrum of services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unite Us Social Connector helps organizations proactively identify social needs in their communities through the Unite Us Social Needs System (SNS)\u2014the industry standard for predicting and measuring individual-level SDoH in populations across the country. It empowers organizations to utilize data to inform care management, community outreach, funding strategies, and intervention design. This solution enables veteran-focused organizations to proactively understand the needs of Veteran households, connect them to needed services, and ensure appropriate programming exists for them throughout the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Takeaways: Strategies for Addressing Veterans&#8217; Health-Related Social Needs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unite Us is proud to help serve those who have served our country in our nationwide networks.
