Could somebody please tip off POTUS and let him know that the Old Veterans Guard has been calling for getting homeless Veterans off the streets of Los Angeles -- our nation’s capital for homeless Veterans – for more than a decade and into a “government-backed facility” …. the National Veterans Home at the Los Angeles VA.
Unfortunately, the only “government-backed facility” where homeless Veterans end up is the Los Angeles County jail as witnessed recently and repeatedly by L.A. County deputy sheriffs who arrest homeless Veterans directly outside the Los Angeles VA for loitering, trespassing, disorderly conduct, public nuisance, etc., etc.
“Speaking at a Politico event Monday evening in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti chief of state Breelyn Pete said a “very large delegation” from the Trump Administration was in town for a scheduled meeting on homelessness, according to Politico.”
How large is large?
And is this the same Los Angeles Mayor who promised then First Lady Michelle Obama in June, 2014, that he would end Veteran homelessness by the end of 2015?
For the record, the OVG has repeatedly reached out to the Mayor’s office and all we ever got was absolute silence and rejection.
