Issue Position: Our Veterans Matter

Issue Position

Our veterans deserve our gratitude and help

From WWII to Afghanistan, Inland Empire residents have a proud tradition of serving our nation. Today, the same people who fought for our freedom abroad are battling the dual crisis of PTSD and homelessness here at home.

My plan for our veterans
* Provide mental health recovery services, including PTSD, using the full extent of government resources.
* Work with landlords and local veteran's groups to ensure Veteran Section 8 vouchers are fully used.
* Hold state sponsored housing and health care training to assist our veterans.
* Sponsor a state resolution to call for PTSD Awareness Week.
