Legislation for traumatic homeless veterans and children
We, the American citizens, are calling for an end to homeless in America, especially among homeless veterans and unmarried deceased veterans' children--they both suffer some type of trauma.
Why is this important?
People should be concerned about the issue of homeless veterans and children. We need our legislators to amend H.R. 1560, Public Safety Second Amend Rights Protection act of 2013.
Example: My father served in Korea and Vietnam War. My mother was pregnant during that time, and inheritance rights were denied, even though I was his only child and he was inducted and died while on active duty.
Today, deceased veterans' children cannot qualify for VA housing eligibility. Our legislators still have not served this underserved population in spite of our trauma and the need for housing and care deserved. There are too many homeless veterans and children, many still in developmental stages. Death of a family member is traumatic, and vulnerable people need protection.
