Considering that veterans make up 8.9% of all US adults [1] and that both veterans and homeless people are overwhelmingly male, 14% doesn't sound very high. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if veterans were actually underrepresented in the homeless population as compared to the general population with similar demographics.
