Madam Speaker, this is a good bill. This is a bill that will help move more people to shelter, particularly our veterans, who are so in need. When I think about Jack Kemp and his inspiration for this so many years ago, he frequently quoted Theodore Roosevelt's great quote, which was: ``Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.'' Certainly, that is apropos here because Mr. Peters and the Committee on Veterans' Affairs and the members, both Republicans and Democrats, on the House Financial Services Committee care about solving this crisis. We care about working with our local partners to make our communities a better place. Madam Speaker, I thank Mr. Stivers for his work and my friend Mr. Peters. I urge a ``yes'' vote on this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
