text: Today, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that they will provide housing for 9,000 currently homeless veterans. This is good news and more progress in the goal of completely ending homelessness among veterans, which has declined by 17 percent since 2009.  My office is committed to helping veterans get the support they have earned. If you or someone you know live in the District and need help obtaining your VA benefits, please call my caseworkers at 530-753-5301
