Senator Todd Young was one of three who introduced new legislation this week attempting to address the problem of veteran homelessness.

Young, a Republican, joined Democrats Tester and Murphy in introducing the Veteran Housing Opportunities and Unemployment Support Extension Act (HOUSE).

The bill allows veterans with Other-Than-Honorable discharges to participate in VA-supported HUD programs. Young says the legislation “will help ensure that many more chronically homeless veterans receive the housing support they deserve.”

Studies show that veterans with such discharges are significantly more likely to experience homelessness.
