Nobody in DC gives a crap about homeless vets.

Of course nobody in DC gives a crap about 30-40 million folks about to get evicted either.

This is about the LANDLORDS. You know, all those evil muthafu**ers who dare to own PRIVATE PROPERTY and have the gall to expect folks to pay them to live in that property.

PRIVATE PROPERTY is anathema to communists.

(Unless they happen to be the communists in charge, that is)

Besides. Round about this coming October or November when it's time to start telling everybody to lock themselves in their hovels again on account of the next surge caused by the next new super duper contagious VARIANT,where the he*l are all those evicted folks supposed to lock themselves into?

Can't have them milling around out in public where they might accidentally bump into a politician.

 The Grant Regulation Adjustment during the Coronavirus Emergency (GRACE) for Homeless Veterans Act with initiation from Montana Senator John Tester secured 50 million in additional funding specifically for Veterans housing issues including the homeless.

 The funding was issued March 11, 2021.

 S. 4910 "GRACE for Homeless Veterans Act of 2020" also allocates additional funding for this purpose and received zero opposition from the current administration.

 In contrast the previous administration cut Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) rental assistance programs by $3.5 billion - providing zero new funds for the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, known as the HUD-VASH program.  So while discretionary spending and other programs did receive an increase, the housing specific sections did not.


 This doesn't address the problems created by eviction moratoriums but it also doesn't mean veterans are getting no help at all.  If anything VA funding stalled starting in 2017, and didn't get a significant improvement until the House/Senate started pushing for red-tape cutting to get more money into the VA housing assistance system in 2020.
