“I rise today in support of S. 1237, the Homeless Veterans and Other Veterans Health Care Authorities Act of 2010. I just had the opportunity to meet with an amazing woman named Natalie and her two children who are actually here in Washington right now. Natalie is currently living in Issaquah in my home State of Washington--but she has been through some tough times over the past few years. She is a Navy veteran and a single mom. But she became homeless in 2007 when she couldn't find work and had to move out of the house she was staying in. Like most moms, Natalie wanted nothing more than to provide her two children with the stable and loving home every family deserves--so she fought to secure transitional housing, and she was very fortunate to find a program called Hopelink in Washington State that gave her the support she needed to get back on her feet. Natalie is now back in stable housing, taking care of her children, and advancing in her nursing career--and she is here in Washington, DC, today to help make sure no other family has to face the challenges she overcame so bravely.”
