The bill to help homeless veterans was killed because lawmakers said they need to do more research.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A bill that would help provide funding to ensure every veteran has housing was killed during an Ohio House committee hearing on Wednesday.
"It impacts everything and impacts your decisions," Foster-DeNieuwe said."It just impacts your entire lifestyle." The funding from the bill would ensure that smaller shelters have sufficient funds to provide adequate care for each vet, he said. With rent increases, this funding could greatly help vets in transitional housing to stay on their feet, he added.Gross had a"previous engagement," so Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committee Chair Haraz Ghanbari, a Republican from Perrysburg, read a direct statement from her.
The two organizations do not represent the entirety of veterans, and they should have been given a chance to address the bill, he added. Just because someone has transitional housing now doesn't mean they are going to have it tomorrow, Veppert said. He does note that the Department of Veteran Services does a good job, but they have limited funds.
