President Trump signed an executive order to create a National Warrior Independence Center on the VA's West Los Angeles campus, aiming to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans. The order mandates a strategic redirection of funds, previously meant for services for illegal immigrants, towards this initiative. It highlights the perceived inadequacies of the current administration in supporting veterans, particularly amidst ongoing litigation questioning the VA's fulfillment of its duties. Veterans' advocates view this order as a hopeful step towards improving housing for those who've served the nation.
"Too many veterans are homeless in America. Each veteran deserves our gratitude. Yet the Federal Government has not always treated veterans like the heroes they are."
"Trump criticized the Biden administration for shamefully failing veterans when they needed help most and betraying the taxpayers who rightfully expect better."
"The order set a goal of housing up to 6,000 homeless veterans at the center and ordered federal agencies to ensure that funds... are redirected to... maintain it."
"The VA appealed the decision contending... that the cost would irreparably harm other services to veterans."
