Robert Stump said "H.R. 3039 is the Veterans Transitional Housing Opportunity Act of 1998. It authorizes the VA to guarantee home loans for multi-unit transitional housing for homeless veterans. The bill also requires homeless projects using these loans to work with VA health care facilities as well as State and local authorities. Additionally, it requires residents to seek and obtain employment and maintain sobriety. The bill is based on a model that stresses personal responsibility, addiction recovery and work. The project must provide supportive services, sobriety, personal and job counseling. Residents are required to pay a reasonable fee for their residence. Many committee members have contributed to this bill from both sides of the aisle and we appreciate that very much. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
