Not since the PACT Act have so many of us come together - this act serves the most vulnerable among us. In the words of CEO Kathryn Monet: ‘NATIONAL COALITION FOR HOMELESS VETERANS thanks the leadership of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee for coming together to provide long overdue legislative relief to veterans experiencing homelessness and the organizations that serve them," said Kathryn Monet, Chief Executive Officer of the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. "The provisions within H.R. 8371, the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act strengthen the crisis response system for veterans facing a housing crisis. We look forward to swift passage in the Senate so more communities across the country have the resources to make veteran homelessness rare, brief, and one-time only.’ Mario | Steven | Stephen | Tramecia

If you don't know Berdie Cowser, Ph.D., you better ask somebody. In Wisconsin, she works to provide housing and services to veterans who need them. But i know her well as the Chair of the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee for the NATIONAL COALITION FOR HOMELESS VETERANS Board of Directors. I am so lucky that I get to work with leaders like Dr. Cowser - get to know her here:

This weekend i spent some time with Eric Ballentine, to get the Minority Veterans of America Q'mmunity House ready to go for the amazing veterans who will stay there as they journey back to thriving lives in stable, permanent housing. The house looks and feels phenomenal. I know good things will happen there because of the intentionality around designing programming and spaces to meet the needs of the lgbtq+ veterans who face housing challenges amidst the other struggles that America throws at them for being themselves. Am proud that NATIONAL COALITION FOR HOMELESS VETERANS got to be the Robin to MVA's Batman on this program, and am looking forward to seeing it thrive so that more veterans can. Links in my repost, for folks who may be interested in learning more and/or applying to participate. #UntilNoVeteranIsHomeless

I am always thankful for the opportunity to be amongst fellow veterans advocates and service providers to honor veterans on Veterans Day. This year i made stops at the people's house, Arlington National Cemetery, and at Swords to Plowshares and Operation Dignity in the Bay Area. Got to see 3 Board Members, 2 NCHV Founders, 2 NCHV service providers, just enough old friends to lose count, and got to make a few new ones as well. Together, we can work to create the system of services and supports that will meet each veteran's needs.

Celebrating Swords to Plowshares, an NCHV member organization, for its decades of veteran advocacy. After 42 years of leadership, Michael Blecker, NCHV co-founder and outgoing CEO, passes the torch to Tramecia Garner, LPCC Garner, NCHV board member and new CEO. Excited to see the continued impact of this great organization. Read more here->https://lnkd.in/eimPBf8d
