Unhoused Veterans Score Legal Victory in Suit Against VA
12/14/2023Federal judge David O. Carter has declined to dismiss a lawsuit that could force the Veterans Administration to house veterans experiencing homelessness in the Los Angeles area. Carter’s 41-page ruling could pave the way for a trial in mid-2024.
Prop 1 was designed to help unhoused people get off the streets by forcing them into treatment. That’s one reason it took two weeks of vote-counting to pass.
About 1.8 million veterans live in California. Here are some organizations dedicated to serving the needs of those who served America.
California‘s veterans are as varied as the nations in which they served—a tapestry of different educational levels, professions, and life experiences. And they all deserve our respect and support.
At hundreds of Stand Down events throughout California, veterans agencies and organizations come together to deliver life’s necessities.
