Update On Homeless Vets

The Department of Veterans Affairs is defending its program to help homeless vets before a Senate committee today. The five-year-plan to end homelessness has been largely considered a success, with some programs exceeding their targets. But investigators Monday said they were worried for the safety of female veterans placed at men-only homeless shelters. The inspector general found sometimes the VA didn't know women lacked privacy at the shelters. The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee has invited two homeless female veterans to testify.
