South Coast Congresswoman Introduces Trio Of Bills To Help Veterans

A Ventura County congresswoman has introduced a trio of bills intended to battle homelessness among veterans.

One of the bills introduced by Democratic Congresswoman Julia Brownley of Westlake Village would give landlords a tax credit if they accept government housing vouchers for veterans.

A second would make a number of programs to help veterans get back on their feet permanent. And, the third would give priority for assistance to homeless veterans with children.
