Nashville(Perfect Music Today) 5\/30\/19\/–At this year\u2019s 54<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0Academy of Country Music Awards, CUMULUS Media and Westwood One Network recorded a dozen public service announcements voiced by country artists to help the National Homeless Veterans Housing Program, through\u00a0VeteransMatter.org<\/a>, house 1,000 more veterans currently living on <\/span><\/div>\n
the streets <\/span>of America.<\/span> The PSAs will air on CUMULUS Media and Westwood One Network radio and streaming properties through Labor Day.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIt is our privilege to support veterans and raise awareness for this essential organization,\u201d shares Brian Philips \u2014 Executive Vice President, Content and Audience, CUMULUS Media.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is inspiring for us, the nation, and especially the veterans on those streets, that this many country artists care about them enough to join this campaign,\u201d says program Founder, Ken Leslie. \u201cIt is one of those once in a lifetime, lightning in a bottle type opportunities that can result in thousands more veterans being housed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u00a0
To date, the National Homeless Veterans Housing Program has helped house nearly 3,000 veterans and their families nationwide. \u201cOur mission is simple, to house as many homeless veterans as we can, as fast as we can,\u201d Leslie says. \u201cVeterans living on the streets are being beaten, robbed- even killed. Yet if this happened behind enemy lines we would be outraged.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Partnered with the US Veterans Affairs (VA) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) departments,\u00a0this is a fast and efficient program that helps house homeless veterans in\u00a0permanent, self-sustaining housing that has a 91% success\u00a0rate of keeping\u00a0them housed.<\/span><\/p>\n

CUMULUS Media and Westwood One Network country music listeners will be encouraged to support this cause by texting VETS to 41444 and donating any amount. Donations are immediately routed to help veterans get into safe, permanent housing.

The Veterans Matter Housing Program\u00a0was created to house 35 local veterans by Ken Leslie, a former comedian turned corporate CEO, and himself formerly homeless. At the urging of Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, Ken created an online system to allow the VA to house the veterans in Hill\u2019s home state of Texas. When John Mellencamp signed on for his home state, the program grew, and more celebrities stepped forward to support including\u00a0Katy Perry, Kid Rock,\u00a0Willie Nelson, Big & Rich, Kix Brooks, Ice-T, Stevie Nicks, George Thorogood, John Fogerty, Mitch Albom and several more. Along the way, CUMULUS Media and Westwood One Network have supported\u00a0VeteransMatter.org<\/a>\u00a0with PSA campaigns which have resulted in hundreds of veterans housed with every campaign.<\/span><\/div>\n
