Kelly Morrison Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to End Veteran Homelessness Nationwide", "2026-05-27", "2026", "2026-05", "Democrat", "House", "MN", "Kelly Morrison", "M001234", "morrison.house.gov", "morrison", "https://morrison.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "BLOOMINGTON, MN \u2014 Today, U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03) announced her legislation to end veteran homelessness, the Housing for All Veterans Act.\n\n32,000 veterans across the United States are homeless \u2014 but Minnesota is on the cusp of eradicating veteran homelessness completely. Representative Morrison\u2019s Housing for All Veterans Act will take Minnesota's success nationwide by guaranteeing housing vouchers to all low-income veterans to prevent and end homelessness.\n\nRepresentative Morrison is a member of the House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee and is committed to ensuring veterans have the care and benefits they deserve \u2014 and have earned.\n\nThe Housing for All Veterans Act is the U.S. House companion to U.S. Senator Tina Smith\u2019s Senate bill of the same name. This bipartisan bill is co-led by Representative Mike Lawler (NY-17).\n\n\u201cWe owe it to our veterans to see that they get the support and care they deserve when they return home \u2014 including making sure every veteran has access to safe and stable housing,\u201d said Congresswoman Morrison. \u201cHere in Minnesota, we\u2019re close to ending veteran homelessness, and it\u2019s time to make sure that the rest of our country\u2019s veterans have this support too. I\u2019m proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation so we can keep our promise to our veterans.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe men and women who served our country shouldn\u2019t have to fight another battle when they come home, especially when it comes to keeping a roof over their heads. Here in New York and across the country, too many veterans are facing rising housing costs and financial pressures that put stability out of reach. This bipartisan legislation helps strengthen the safety net for veterans and their families, provides support before housing insecurity becomes a crisis, and honors our obligation to those who sacrificed for our nation. I\u2019m proud to help lead this effort,\u201d said Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17).\n\nThis bill is endorsed by the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) and Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota (DAV MN).\n\n\u201cThis legislation addresses the root cause of housing affordability, providing our veterans with a long-term, sustainable solution to secure housing. By ensuring access to rental assistance and prohibiting income discrimination, we give our veterans the stability they deserve and the opportunity to thrive in their communities,\u201d said Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) Chief Program Officer Nathaniel Saltz.\n\n\u201cDAV Minnesota supports the Housing for All Veterans Act because stable housing is essential to a veteran\u2019s health, dignity, and ability to thrive after service. This bill provides practical housing support for low-income veteran families before they fall deeper into crisis, while respecting the earned benefits and sacrifices of those who served. Veterans should not have to face housing instability alone, and DAV Minnesota appreciates Representative Morrison\u2019s leadership in advancing a bill that strengthens housing stability for veterans who served our nation,\u201d said Legislative Director of DAV MN Trent Dilks.\n\nRead the full text of the bill here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:21:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://morrison.house.gov/media/press-releases/us-rep-kelly-morrison-introduces-bipartisan-legislation-end-veteran"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5910230576992035, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
