President Trump Reallocates Funds For Housing Illegals to Build National Center for Homeless Veterans


President Trump has just signed an executive order to build a national center for homeless veterans.

The National Center for Warrior Independence will, very fittingly, be built on the Veterans Affairs campus in Los Angeles.

The goal is to give homeless veterans from all parts of the country a place where they can get access to benefits and service to help them rebuild their lives.

The best part?

It uses funds that were previously used for housing illegal immigrants.

This order sends a clear message: unlike the previous administrations, President Trump cares about supporting homeless vets that fought for our country — not illegal aliens.

Check it out:

A White House fact sheet on the order reads:

KEEPING OUR PROMISE TO OUR VETERANS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to provide better care to our veterans, improve accountability for such care, and establish a National Center for Warrior Independence for homeless veterans.

  • The Order directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence on the Veterans Affairs West Los Angeles Campus.
    • Homeless veterans in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and around the nation can avail themselves of this Center to seek and receive the care, benefits, and services to which they are entitled.
    • Funds previously spent on housing or other services for illegal aliens will be redirected to construct, establish, and maintain this Center.
    • The Center will promote self-sufficiency through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work for the veterans housed there.
    • The goal is to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at this Center by 2028.
  • The Order directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to use vouchers to support homeless veterans with respect to this effort.
  • It instructs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to restore accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This includes taking action against individuals who have committed misconduct and investigating and rectifying the previous administration’s decision to rehire and reinstate back pay for employees previously fired for misconduct.
  • The Order ensures that veterans will have access to increased options for care, benefits, and services.
    • This includes reduced wait times for Veterans Health Administration appointments through options such as expanded hours, weekend appointments, and virtual healthcare.
    • It orders a feasibility study at the Manchester VA Medical Center to expand services to support a full-service medical center in New Hampshire.

This fulfills yet another one of President Trump’s campaign promises.

BREAKING: President Trump to build a national center for homeless veterans using funds that were previously spent on illegal immigrants.

The executive order is another fulfilled promise of the president.

“The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives,” the Trump White House said.

“The Center will promote self-sufficiency through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work for the veterans housed there.”

“President Trump strongly believes that every veteran deserves our gratitude, and that the federal government should treat veterans like the heroes they are.”

Trump has directed that a campus be established in Los Angeles, where approximately 3,000 homeless veterans live.

The goal is to house 6,000+ homeless veterans by 2028.
