Major Progress for Homeless Veterans Living Outside Los Angeles VA

Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans As most of you know, the Los Angeles VA recently opened what is nothing shy of an "internment camp" inside the VA to temporarily shelter a few homeless Veterans. This was not out of humanitarian goodwill or goodness of the heart, but because a federal judge notified LA County and City officials that they had to provide public portable toilets for all the homeless during the Chinavirus lockdown.

But thanks to Judicial Watch and U.S. Marine Veteran James Spencer

For years, we have been respectfully requesting pubic portable toilets and showers for the homeless Veterans living directly outside the Los Angeles VA but have been repeatedly rejected. Now they are bowing to the federal judge's order and providing these humanitarian facilities inside the VA and Veterans who sign away their life and freedom can live in a pitifully small "pup tent" and have access to public toilets and showers--only during the virus lockdown. We offered to provide 14x10 walk-in tents with cots so the Veterans would not have to sleep on the cold and damp asphalt. As would be expected, the VA rejected our offer and instead created a fenced-in, imprisoned, skid row-like internment camp directly inside the VA. And to no surprise, the VA refuses to allow Veterans who choose to live outside the VA from using the portable toilets and showers inside the VA. See attached photos of VA's lockdown internment camp. But thanks to Judicial Watch and U.S. Marine Veteran James Spencer, we are successfully working together to remove the "skid row" stigma of homelessness and create a new Mission by upgrading the fenced-off area directly outside the VA into a Patriotic "Veterans Pride Row" that will include American and U.S. Military Branch Flags. See attached photos. It's important to point out that the City of Los Angeles spent $5 million and took more than 18 months to build an industrial-size tent inside the VA to house 50 homeless Veterans within a large non-private room.

Our primary Mission is to house 25 homeless Veterans outside the VA

On the other hand, for $250, we can provide a homeless Veteran with a 14x10 Walk-in Tent including a cot that will be their own private domain, and we can put it up in less than twenty minutes. Our primary Mission is to house 25 homeless Veterans outside the VA on "Veterans Pride Row" for $6,250, and it will be built pronto. We currently have eight new Tents installed and moving forward ... see attached photos. Thanks for all the cooperation we are getting with our Team. If you would like to provide a homeless Veteran with a 14x10 walk-in Tent and Cot, or know someone who would, please e-mail me back or call me at 310-490-6495. Following is an article that Judicial Watch published today in their "Corruption Chronicles" also regarding the aforementioned. Big Thanks to Judicial Watch for taking a leadership role in pursuing legal action against the VA, leadership in making donations for the 14x10 Tents at "Veterans Pride Row," leadership in investigating the never-ending crime at corruption at the Los Angeles VA, and publicly reporting about it and the abuse of our homeless Veterans.

Tents Raised Outside LA VA to Help Homeless Vets Neglected by Agency

(Judicial Watch)Though it has vast resources and land to do it, the Los Angeles Veterans Affairs refuses to help the area’s homeless military vets—many of them disabled—so Judicial Watch launched a program offering temporary housing during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be a long-term solution, but at least those who served their country will have shelter during the health crisis, which has deeply impacted the city’s enormous homeless population. Several large tents are being erected adjacent to the VA’s lush West L.A. grounds, creating a “Veterans Row” donated by Judicial Watch and other heartbroken Americans who believe vets deserve better. “The VA ignores and abuses them while the massive land deeded to them on the other side of the fence is used for non-veteran things,” said Robert Rosebrock, a 78-year-old U.S. Army vet and activist who leads a troop called the Old Veterans Guard. For more than a decade the group has conducted peaceful demonstrations to protest the VA’s failure to make full use of the property to benefit veterans, particularly those who are homeless.
