Today First Lady Michelle Obama joined me in Los Angeles
where we pledged to end veteran homelessness by the end
of 2015.
There is no one to whom you or I owe a greater debt of
service than to our veterans. Yet, across the country,
veterans find themselves with few opportunities and little
chance to get ahead when they return home. The
heartbreaking reality is that nearly 60,000 veterans will
be sleeping on the streets tonight. The President, the
First Lady, and I are determined to bring that number
down to zero.
Unfortunately, Los Angeles has more homeless former
service members than any other American city. Winning
here means we can win everywhere.
We know what it takes to get this done: more affordable
housing, better access to support services, and holding
our elected representatives accountable so their words
of support are backed up with action.
That's where you come in.
Eric Garcetti
Mayor
