This week, the House of Representatives passed six bipartisan bills designed to help America's veterans thrive. The passed legislation included efforts to: boost veteran employment and encourage more family-owned veteran businesses, expand and maintain veterans housing programs, hold poor-performing employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs accountable, and create a new voluntary ID card for veterans allowing them to prove that they served.
"Our veterans served our country and when their time in uniform has passed, their country should serve them. We have a sacred obligation to provide veterans with world-class health care, employment opportunities and affordable housing," said Congressman Delaney. "Tragically, it is clear that we have more work to do in these areas and we should not rest until every veteran, from every branch, in every state, has been assisted. I am hopeful that the legislation passed by the House this week can help more veterans find a job, encourages more veteran-owned and veteran-employing businesses, expands veteran housing options and reduces veteran homelessness and continues our effort to bring accountability to the VA. Any veteran who needs help receiving their benefits should consider my office a resource and I invite them to contact us immediately."
