Reps. Mace and Jacobs Release a Statement on the Introduction of the Ending Veteran Homelessness Act

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) and Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (CA-53) released the following statement on the introduction of the bipartisan Ending Veteran Homelessness Act:

“Homelessness in the veteran community continues to be an issue. Knowing what programs work and identifying those that don’t, will help us be better equipped to tackle this ongoing problem,” said Congresswoman Mace. “This bill provides better oversight, by collecting the latest data and information, through expanding the Shallow Subsidy program. Veterans put their life on the line to protect this country and now it is time we ensure their livelihoods are protected as well.”

“The Ending Veteran Homelessness Act is incredibly important legislation for San Diego’s veteran community and for veterans across the country, and I’m proud to introduce this bill with Congresswoman Mace. Rental assistance from the VA can be the difference between homelessness and permanent housing and we know that San Diego’s housing crisis affects veteran families acutely. I’m proud to be leading the effort to make sure we’re supporting our low-income veterans and doing right by those who have served,” said Congresswoman Jacobs.
