My caseworkers in South Dakota report that the homeless Veterans they have worked with are very distrustful of the VA and generally unwilling to go there for assistance.
I can assure you that we will continue to work together in bipartisan manner to review current programs, to determine if they meet the needs of veterans and their dependents, while we continue to look for new opportunities to strengthen…
Given such success, I hope the VA and this Committee will strongly consider ways to expand this program's reach so more communities can benefit as Rapid City has.
I do want to point out, though, and I respect where Mr. Inslee is coming from, but the line of questioning I felt with Mr. Rehberg assumes that climate change alone is the only factor contributing to this problem.
