This is a very important subject we need to talk about and learn how we can all be helpful with our fellow veterans who have been experiencing homelessness for many years.

The nation should look at the Minneapolis model. The city used federal funds to purchase hotels and renovated them for homeless veterans. This eliminates remuneration to the real estate owners and significantly simplifies the process. I believe they were able to house all 400+ homeless veterans in a month. The program is also social worker centric as they work with the veterans because they tend to have challenging problems.

If it's ok to house illegals, give them free phones, and free air or bus trips, now we know how our taxes $$ are being used. But cannot help our homeless veterans or families of veterans who die here or overseas servicing their country?

The summary above leaves out community-based VSOs - Veteran Service Organizations - like VFW and American Legion; AMVETS, DAV, etc. These groups have been in this fight for more than 100 years. You might want to include them in your network and in your thinking on this issue. They're doing this work 24/7/365!
