Getting that help is what will keep them housed and keep them employed and keep them in a life of purpose.

We, as a society, still have a stigma around the unseen wounds of war that is preventing veterans when they transition out from getting help.

We have to find a way to crack this nut to make sure that that veteran who has that voucher has a place to go.

Thank you to the Veterans Service Organizations.

I think it is true that veterans--the Veterans' Committee is the most bipartisan forum in Congress.

I worked to end veteran homelessness while in Congress.

I am proud of the progress we have made nationally over the last decade.

We must look to new models for providing HUD-VASH vouchers to homeless veterans and, potentially, incentivize landlords to take more vouchers.

I have introduced two bills, both of which have passed this committee.

Without helping veterans find meaningful employment, we are only providing homeless veterans temporary housing and not setting them up for positive long-term outcomes.

I would like to start with my friend, Gus Bilirakis, who is the Ranking Member on the Economic Opportunity Subcommittee from Florida.

And I support two bills that my colleague, Mr. Peters, has introduced to improve the HUD-VASH program, which provides housing vouchers to our homeless veterans.

One of my bills, the Housing for Women Veterans Act, would ensure a portion of supportive services for veteran families grants go to organizations that have a focus on women veterans and their families.

This Congress and my Subcommittee has continued working to improve the variety of Federal programs that currently exist to support our homeless veterans.

If you can solve veteran homelessness in southern California, you can solve it anywhere.

Nobody I talk to supports this Administration's efforts in the courts to destroy the Affordable Care Act and rip insurance from millions of families.

The science is clear: climate change will have increasingly devastating effects on our planet if we do not make significant changes to the way we live.

I strongly endorse Congresswoman Matsui's STORE Nuclear Fuel Act, which would authorize the Department of Energy to take title to spent nuclear fuel.

It's critical that the Federal Government establish a consolidated interim storage, or CIS, facility for this waste and other spent nuclear fuel across the country.

I strongly endorse Congresswoman Matsui's Store Nuclear Fuel Act, which would authorize the Department of Energy to take title to spent nuclear fuel in order to store it at a CIS facility.

I think it is important that those risks are explained and quantified, which is one reason I am proud to support the Climate Risk Disclosure Act.

Our veterans deserve clear information when making decisions about where to seek care, and Congress needs more reliable measures to understand veterans' access to care in our districts and districts across the country.

We want to work with the community to come to a consensus about the best way to do it.

It is time to sunset this benefit and have--again, just one GI program on the books.

I believe this approach will help servicemembers make the right decision.
