HOMELESS VETS AND WHITEWASHED WALLS. MORE LIB MYTHS..BUSTED

The Reality:
In May 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence on the VA’s West Los Angeles campus. This project is designed to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans by 2028, with resources redirected from migrant service programs.
The administration also expanded VA housing initiatives, including reforms to the VA Home Loan Program (H.R. 1815, signed in July 2025) and additional funding for VA Grant and Per Diem programs that directly support housing and rehabilitation services.
Meanwhile, veteran homelessness is actually declining nationwide—down 8% from 2023 to 2024—thanks to VA/HUD efforts under both prior and current programs.
The Disinformation:
By framing immigration enforcement costs as a direct trade-off with veterans’ housing, activists create a false zero-sum game. In reality, funding streams are distinct, and Trump’s record shows active new commitments to veteran housing—not abandonment.
