Bravo!!! Finally! Something good for vets! Take all vets off the streets!

Homeless Vets deserve our efforts. They at least served the country. Many have just had bad luck after getting out. They won’t abuse this opportunity like many of the druggies and lazy bums that just want to go through life mooching off others.

I’m a veteran. I drove by here a couple years ago. It was truly appalling to see tents outside of the gates and totally vacant buildings within. On a human level it was very hard to comprehend what the hell was going on. Glad to see the obvious solutions have been implemented.

Homeless veterans but the Ukrainians get SSI. Crazy

[@nisinisi4627]

I'm happy for our veterans..........no illegals

[@jaad9848]

Watch NIMBY neighbors are going to complain about this.

[@User5260jo]

Complain about veterans who fought for their freedoms, but not complain about migrants tents that line the USED TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND SAFE STREETS of Los Angeles? 😮

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

Excellent!

[@davidkrausell1741]

Good news👏🏻

[@usafvet1641]

Thanks to Rob Reynolds!

[@cindystoon8396]

They were already built

[@tom4542]

you can get into these as long as you are not a combat veteran. Many keep getting denied though they are here for medical needs.

[@RNRacres]

We need this in Canada. Although Trudeau won't allow it

[@oeao2841]

Homeless and their families?

[@terryl.cooper]

62 and older so I would guess they mean spouses.

[@bcgrote]

That was fast. Of course, once they put the homeless vets who 'live' right by there, it will be full. And then more homeless vets will come to the streets there.

[@terryl.cooper]

You personally took a poll of all the homeless vets in the US? Otherwise, SYAD

[@JJJ_JJ1]

True. People will always congregate around resources.

[@gratefulbear]

arooo nice

[@jordanjohnson9866]

Nah. Not everything. Not everythain. /

[@dianesaldivar824]

For Illegals NOT Veterans.

[@cesarc6044]

What? Tell me in what world would an immigrant qualify for this? Show us where the application is, the buildings that move these " immigrants" you're talking about. Did you not watch the video?

[@cynthiajones4332]

VA fans will you go to heaven? Ever lie, steal, used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? Still think your good? According to God's law, you're guilty. Wait, God loves you, he made a way out. God so loved the world that he gave his son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Jesus died for you, believe & repent.

Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕

If you’re honorably discharged and this is temp , ok. Is this another handout on top of free cel phones food assist. Get a J-O -B.I really hope we start making everyone on the dole ,grab a rake or broom or a shovel and start at very least picking up trash to continue receiving handouts. OR work at food pantries, soup kitchens, a lot of able body people gaming the working tax payers. bleeding heart b.s.

[@cesarc6044]

Youre brain dead, you think people want to live at the mercy of govt assistance? What else do you propose we do with state taxes and federal taxes? Lets start with the fact that these are not hand outs because they are veterans, they made a choice to serve this country and regardless of what you think about that it is a difficult thing to do and now as they turn older they should not be abandoned. Your govt spends billions on wars overseas and other ridiculous things but you're so brainwashed that you get pissed out at the fact that a tiny amount of money in comparison to all the money that Is wasted by local and federal level are used for veterans. Step out your bubble, you should go pick up a rake and shovel instead of commenting stupid things on the internet

[@BIGGYMIC63]

Well delores some are disabled vets who cannot work like myself so Foff with your qanon mtg bs Attitude

[@firstlast8258]

Hope is not a plan
