HR 3329, the Homes for Heroes Act of 2007, introduced by Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was passed by the House of Representatives. The Senate version of the bill, S. 1084, needs your help to in order to receive a vote on the Senate floor.
On any given night 154,000 veterans across the nation sleep on the streets. Veterans make up between 18-23 percent of the adult homeless population in the United States while they make up only 12.6 percent of the total population. The bill would establish a $200 million assistance program for supportive housing and services for low-income veterans. Expand the HUD-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program by creating 20,000 vouchers, and authorize $1 million in HUD grants to assist housing and service providers with the execution of their housing projects for veterans.
Time is running out! There are three weeks left before Congress is on recess for a month. Only 10 senators have signed on as co-sponsors to S. 1084. To ensure a vote in the Senate, we need to generate more support. Contact your senators today and tell them to support the Homes for Heroes Act.
