PROVIDENCE — House lawmakers on Friday approved legislation to create a new Department of Veterans Affairs within the Office of Health and Human Services, starting in July 2010. Under the legislation, the agency would take on the work of a smaller veterans’ affairs division, which would be replaced. The new department would have the added authorization to establish and maintain a care program for homeless vets. The current advisory council for the Rhode Island Veterans Home would be replaced by an advisory council for veterans’ affairs. “There are nearly 100,000 veterans in Rhode Island, many of them with dependents,” said Rep. Kenneth Carter, D-North Kingstown, chairman of the House
