| https://sablan.house.gov/nmi-will-be-eligible-va-grant | NMI will be eligible for VA grant | 2019-12-09 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | MP | Gregorio Sablan | S001177 | sablan.house.gov | legacy | NMI will be eligible for VA grant Dec 8, 2019 The House Veterans Affairs Committee advanced a bill establishing a grant program to support organizations that provide coordination and delivery of services to veterans at risk for suicide and their families. I offered an amendment that ensures entities in the Marianas and the other insular areas would be eligible for the grant and included in the VA's program outreach. Supporting organizations in our community that help at-risk veterans is especially important for the Marianas because direct, in-person, VA mental health services are very limited, especially so as demand increases. Marianas veterans want and deserve their own Vet Center and I will continue to push to make that a reality. My amendment passed unanimously by voice vote.
