This Friday, September 14, 2012, the Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee will hold a hearing, “Housing for Heroes: Examining How Federal Programs Can Better Serve Veterans.”
Monarch Housing has reached out to the staffers in the offices of our congressional delegation who handle both veterans and housing issues and encouraged them to attend the hearing.
