Jennings PDD-ADM 1/12/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Transitional housing is a critical component for the successful reintegration of veterans <br />and should be coordinated with other VA services and care. Responding to homeless <br />veterans has significant impact on City services (police, fire, parks, human services). The <br />bill could be improved by adding something to encourage the VA to structure their <br />programs so that they are more easily combined with other federal and state resources to <br />provide housing. <br /> <br />35 <br /> <br />
