Well hopefully the money will be well spent Sgt Kelli Mays
Unfortunately like many government proposed solutions the article focuses on federal, state and city money focused on housing veterans.
There are millions of homeless in this nation, many of whom are veterans, and the reasons for homelessness are myriad - from eviction after loss of job, through disaster destroying homes [flooding, tornado, wildfire, etc], to mental illness [the governments closed most of the metal institutions which housed, cared for and fed many mentally ill people who could not function in an increasingly complex society - some of those loosed onto the street were veterans from earlier wars].
Some of the homeless, especially families with young children will most likely welcome the efforts to provide housing for them - hopefully with sweat equity the way Habitat for Humanity and similar organizations do.
The veterans who want little do to with the society will most likely not want to be moved into government housing. In some cases the society they returned to welcomed them; but. in many cases people rejected their service as barbarism. Those are the veterans, after the mentally ill, who are most at risk.
