TopicMilitary and Veteran's Affairs
ContentProvide more opportunities for retired/disabled veteran's to have affordable housing. Apartment complexes should be built that meet all the needs of a handicapped person. There should be opportunities for socializing, exercising, and access to medical and mental health care. We should never have a veteran that is homeless or living in a shelter, but I'm sure we probably do. My grandfather lived his last years in the veteran's nursing home in Norman. They were absolutely wonderful to him and he called it home. He was a cook in WWI and never experienced anything that caused him to be disabled. He entered the nursing home in his 80's due to illnes. The VA could possibly provide input as to what groups are most vulnerable....whether disabled, aged, or possibly transitioning from active duty back to civilian life, regardless of age or disability. Many of our veteran's are suffering when they return home. If the basic need of shelter was available, they might have a greater chance of getting their physical/mental health needs met early on.
