President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to provide better care to our veterans, improve accountability for such care, and establish a National Center for Warrior Independence for homeless veterans.
The Order directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence on the Veterans Affairs West Los Angeles Campus.
Homeless veterans in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and around the nation can avail themselves of this Center to seek and receive the care, benefits, and services to which they are entitled.
Funds previously spent on housing or other services for illegal aliens will be redirected to construct, establish, and maintain this Center.
The Center will promote self-sufficiency through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work for the veterans housed there.
The goal is to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at this Center by 2028.
The Order directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to use vouchers to support homeless veterans with respect to this effort.
It instructs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to restore accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This includes taking action against individuals who have committed misconduct and investigating and rectifying the previous administration’s decision to rehire and reinstate back pay for employees previously fired for misconduct.
The Order ensures that veterans will have access to increased options for care, benefits, and services.
This includes reduced wait times for Veterans Health Administration appointments through options such as expanded hours, weekend appointments, and virtual healthcare.
It orders a feasibility study at the Manchester VA Medical Center to expand services to support a full-service medical center in New Hampshire.
Previous administrations have failed veterans by allowing the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center—hundreds of acres in Los Angeles given to the Federal Government more than a century ago to help veterans—to fall apart.
Parts of the property are leased to a private school, private companies, and the baseball team of the University of California, Los Angeles—sometimes at rock-bottom prices.
Los Angeles has approximately 3,000 homeless veterans—more than any other city in the country and accounting for about 10% of all homeless veterans in America.
Many of these heroes live in squalor in Los Angeles’s infamous “skid row.”
The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives.
The VA Home Loan Program Reform Act, will create a partial claim program at VA as part of the Committee’s efforts to modernize the VA Home Loan program – which currently serves 3.7 million veterans – to allow veterans who have fallen behind on their mortgages to receive federal assistance that is already available through other federal housing programs. Currently, nearly 70,000 veteran homeowners are more than 90 days late on their mortgage payments. This bill provides these veterans with needed relief and a second chance to keep their homes as a result of the new program. H.R. 1815 also includes the proper funding levels for the VA Grant and Per Diem program, as part of VA’s homelessness prevention programs to fund community agencies providing services to veterans experiencing homelessness.

Why can't homeless people just buy a house?!
