There is nothing more important in my job than having our veterans\u2019 backs.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe very much appreciate the assistance of Congresswoman Lee in securing funding for veteran services, and we could not provide these services without the help of local, state, and federal partners and our donors,\u201d said Major Harold Laubach, Divisional Secretary, Salvation Army. \u201cThe Salvation Army offers many different programs, from emergency shelters and permanent housing to vocational training, mental health services, and case management. Veterans in our community are able to take part in these programs because of the public\u2019s help.\u201d\n\nOver the past year, the Salvation Army has provided rapid rehousing and homeless prevention services to nearly 800 veterans and their family members, including disabled and low-income veterans, as well as seniors and children. Programs like these have collectively helped place more than 46,500 homeless veterans across the country into permanent housing last year alone.\n\nLee was joined by regional leadership for the Salvation Army, including Majors Maggie and Harold Laubach, as well as Case Managers \u2014 some of whom are veterans themselves \u2014 who work directly with veterans in need, and a local veteran and his family who have directly benefitted from the housing services that the Salvation Army provides. Lee also toured the campus\u2019 case management offices and food pantry facility.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "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://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-lee-highlights-impact-federal-investment-secured-salvation-armys"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.106925334781408, "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"}
