KTLA 5 Investigates: Housing for homeless veterans

At a time when thousands of military veterans are living on the streets of Los Angeles, why is the Veterans Administration not moving quicker to provide them housing? And why is VA property that could be used for housing being leased out? KTLA’s Annie Rose Ramos investigates.
Hotline for veterans experiencing homelessness:
• Weekdays 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.: 310-268-3350
• Outside normal business hours: 213-563-7979

Cost 10-12$K to build a tiny home too. These crooks know this, but would rather pocket all that taxpayer money.. so disturbing

It’s a shame that are veterans have to sleep in the mean streets of LA while illegal immigrants get all the benefits.

[@jza_23]

Joe Biden and the democrats are looking for fresh votes with the illegal immigrants.

[@Aaron14LifeZZZ]

Sad reality

[@jza_23]

Joe Biden are giving illegal immigrants benefits for fresh votes.

Investigate: NO MAKE IT HAPPEN… as a VETERAN these TALKING HEADS in suits are making us 😡😡😡

[@davidOConnor-z3l]

Investigation means a complete review of the cover-up and then covered up again

[@Cucumberflavoredmustard]

Once all the vets have food and shelter, then we can worry about other Americans. Once all Americans have food and shelter, then we can talk about LEGAL immigrants. Once they have what we need, only then should we be talking about everyone else.

[@kevinbarr1197]

It’s amazing that they can find money for housing and food for illegal immigrants. This is a national disgrace.

[@davidOConnor-z3l]

All of our money is going over to the Middle East and to Zelenskyy what is left over will be saved for the migrants ! veterans can stand in line and wait if anything is left

[@MattLg825]

Veterans should NOT be homeless in the first place so wrong they should be set for life financially

[@davidOConnor-z3l]

Well I’m a veteran of special preference,, Battle group echo,,, and my mother told me when I was 18 don’t worry you will never ever have trouble finding a job as a veteran,,,, and 40 years later she is correct,,,

[@davidOConnor-z3l]

White House spokes person has confirmed that all veteran housing will be relegated for poor migrants. And their families .. veterans must fend for themselves is the new law of this nation

[@albertramirez797]

There is apartments down the streets and they literally kicked out veterans for the college young idiots that we have these days America's first not other countries an illegal

[@CoachMikejvGahr]

I am actually a veteran and homeless can't afford to have a place to stay. After this story is over, everyone will forget and stop caring about the issues of veterans

[@davidOConnor-z3l]

Well I’m a Migrant I’ve been here six months and I am reaping the benefits of cash card cell phone on the job training with free housing I tell everybody I’m sending money back home to my wife and children even though they’re over here I just do that for a sympathy story from the American fools

Why does that woman think she deserves free housing? I don't think she was injured in combat.

[@mb9662]

The US military industrial complex is streamlining its business model to avoid the downsides of veterans. By selling arms to foreign militaries at tax payer expense they are able to take your money more directly without the added costs. Capitalism is adapting

[@_theHost]

Respectfully it would be nice if the government can help give vehicles to people who need an newer car to then be inspired to keep working to get comfortable with responsibilities why can’t they fund RV or a modified Rv something other then shelters and beholders why does it have to be housing WHY NOT VEHICLES NEWER VEHICLES !!?????!!!
