We have many obligations as a nation, but we only have one truly sacred obligation: to equip those we send into harm’s way and care for them and their families when they come home. Two years ago today, we met that sacred obligation when I signed the PACT Act into law.

Great news, #IL03 vets! HUD will no longer count disability benefits as income when vets apply for certain housing programs. As a member of House Veterans' Affairs Democrats, I've been advocating to ensure no veteran suffers from homelessness. I am excited to see the change in policy and stand

I was joined by Department of Housing and Urban Development PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) and Isaac, a formerly unhoused veteran, to announce new policy changes to combat veteran homelessness. Disability benefits will no longer count as income for the purpose of rental assistance and housing vouchers. This is a big win.

NO elected official should ever disparage Medal of Honor recipients and their heroic actions. This is even more despicable coming from a former Commander-in-Chief. MOH recipients went above and beyond the call of duty, risking their lives and sometimes losing their life, for

Good news for non-profits around the country who help veterans every day! These grants will help get veterans housed or provide necessary services to prevent veterans from falling into homelessness. These non-profits do yeoman's work taking care of our nation's most vulnerable

Diane's father, John Hammer, courageously fought in WWII and was held by enemy forces. She reached out to my office to help piece together his service record, & we were able to secure a POW Medal to posthumously honor his valor. Hear his story and see how my team can help. ⬇️

Grateful to spend time helping out at the Veterans Ham and Bean Dinner at the Fulton County Fair. It is the honor of a lifetime to serve those who served our country so faithfully.
