Murphy secured federal funding for homeless veterans

On Monday, Congressman Chris Murphy paid a visit to the Vet House in Danbury to announce that he's secured funding for those homeless residents who served our country. Danbury is set to receive 15 federal housing vouchers for homeless veterans as well as funding for Vet House II, a housing project that provides shelter for homeless vets in the area.

Via Congressman Murphy's press release:

"These new housing resources will change lives.  No one should have to go without a roof over their heads, but veterans in particular deserve a place to call home given all they have done to serve our country.  I'm thrilled to see Danbury get its first dedicated housing vouchers and I'm looking forward to seeing how these resources will impact our homeless veterans," said Murphy.

Housing vouchers for veterans are allocated under a joint initiative between the VA and HUD called the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program (HUD-VASH).  Murphy was joined by Vet House and HUD-VASH officials.
Vet House I is part of the "Housing for Heroes" Program in Danbury, and provides temporary housing for veterans in need.  Vet House II is currently under construction, and Murphy secured $190,000 for that project.
