Republican Controlled Budget Committee Cuts Veteran Housing

I'm Dan Schaefer, let's recombogulate.

This year's Wisconsin State Budget included a rather unfortunate cut.

The Republican Control Budget Committee eliminated funding for the Veterans Housing and Recovery

Program that would have kept two facilities in Green Bay and Chippewa Falls open and operational.

This state program aims to provide temporary housing, training and supportive services

to military veterans who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless

in order to help them obtain permanent housing.

In response to these looming closures, Democrats representing parts of Green Bay and Chippewa

Falls introduced legislation in August to keep these facilities open.

But Republican legislative leadership has not even allowed a public hearing on the

bill and the clock is ticking.

Without these funds, these facilities are set to close by September 30th of this year.

Republicans need to come to the table and step up to support our veterans now before it's

too late.

And all of Dan's work at the recombobulation area.
