While I commend the VA's efforts to reduce the suicide rate, particularly with the success of its Veterans Crisis hotline, challenges still remain.

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.
The VA's goal of ending veterans homelessness by the year 2015 is an ambitious goal.
I am also concerned that we are not taking adequate steps to address special populations, such as homeless woman veterans.
I realize that you have that many employees, but when you said that 'we discussed the report,' I am sure you didn't discuss that report with the 300,000 employees, so I was just trying to narrow down the 'we' that you were talking about.
