Washington, DC * 11:30AM – As part of the Joining Forces initiative, First Lady Michelle Obama will deliver remarks at the 84th Winter Meeting of the United States Conference of Mayors at the Capital Hilton. Mrs. Obama will speak about the Administration's efforts to end veteran homelessness and the importance of mayoral leadership in the process.

In 2010, the Administration set the goal of preventing and ending homelessness among veterans.
