LA To Build Housing For 4,000 Homeless Vets--City Has Largest Number Of Homeless Vets In Nation (Picture, Video)
This just goes to say that we have the resources to deal with homeless people–be they veterans or civilians, Until we get corruption and political stagnation out of the process,the nation will continue to waste resources while people go without food and shelter. –Muckracker
ven as Los Angeles became home to the country’s largest population of homeless military veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs for years has used much of its 387-acre tract near the city’s exclusive Brentwood neighborhood for other purposes, including leasing property to a car rental agency and the laundry facilities of a major hotel chain. This happened over the objections of veterans advocates who thought that the tract, which had been deeded to the government in 1888 for the purpose of housing disabled veterans, should be used to house some of Los Angeles’s 4,000 homeless veterans.
This week, the department agreed to settle a three-year-old lawsuit on behalf of homeless veterans by pledging to build permanent and transitional “bridge” housing on the tract and at other locations throughout greater Los Angeles. The department said it would draw up a master plan for the site by October.

The plaintiffs in the case included several veterans and the group Vietnam Veterans of America. READ MORE

50,000 homeless vets–an abomination
how disgusting our societies are. we could have it all. we live in a land of plenty and are kept sick and poor by DESIGN. the priorities of the establishment nowhere near mirror the people’s priorities. they probably want them all in one spot so they can nuke them or some such sickening hidden agenda. I AM SO SICK OF THESE CLOWNS.
