Yeah, absolutely. When you look at that only 5.4 percent have merit, part of the bulk of the reasoning is actually the lack of understanding of the law.
Some veterans think that because of veterans preference, that they will automatically be hired in the Federal services. That is not the case.
I have heard the comment, the anecdotal comment, that you just mentioned, that they just keep them there until they can say, 'Well, we hired a veteran,' then they let them go.
My question is: It seems that further reduction in homelessness will become increasingly difficult as the more severely mental ill and substance-dependent veterans are treated and housed.
