Your Support is Needed
Our veterans need more housing!
We need your support to help pass state legislation that will make key reforms to provide more housing for our veterans.
As proposed, Assembly Bill 1386 (Gabriel) would:
*Ensure available beds for homeless veterans do not go empty.
*This bill would allow the State Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program (VHHP) program to expand its housing resources to veterans who do not typically qualify for the existing program while first ensuring that lower-income veterans are prioritized.
*Through removing this administrative barrier, AB 1386 seeks to maximize the impact of existing services and programs by decreasing vacancy rates, helping to reduce the population of homeless Veterans.
Over the past decade, while veteran homelessness has decreased in the United States, California continues to have the highest population of homeless veterans in the country. Approximately 31 percent of the nation’s homeless veterans are located in California. According to the 2022 point-in-time-count, 10,395 veterans in California were homeless.
Contact your elected officials today and ask them to support housing for our veterans by supporting Assembly Bill 1386 (Gabriel).
