Congresswoman Johnson Launches Small Business Series To Assist Homeless Veterans


Congresswoman Johnson recently launched her small business series to assist homeless veterans in the Dallas area. The purpose of the series is to inform homeless veterans about the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program and provide them with the tools they need to apply for assistance. 

“No veteran should ever come home from war and be homeless.  I have traveled all over the world and there is no place else that allows the freedoms and opportunities like the United States. We are afforded this luxury because of the sacrifice and skill of our men and women in uniform, and we should all be there for them when they return home.” - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson

note: Congresswoman Johnson served as Chief Psychiatric Nurse at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Dallas before being elected to public office.
