When the Army discharged her for drug use in May 2004, Rhiannon Duncan, a single mother in her mid-20s who served full-time in the Army, had many demons and very little sense of direction.
In August 2014, after a few years marked by drug use, homelessness and prostitution, Duncan began to stabilize when she entered a pilot program here designed for veterans like herself, for whom homelessness is often one of multiple problems.
Today, the survivor of childhood incest and drug addiction is a full-time student at the American River College, a community college in Sacramento, Calif. She has been drug-free since July 7, 2014.
