  1. I have a friend who's also a veteran who was homeless living in his van here in Norfolk, Virginia. He got some kind of assistance I believe through the Veterans Administration for education and housing. I'm not certain the exact details but he said they were paying his rent here in Norfolk. Can this man call and them and see if him and his wife can get some kind of assistance through them that will help pay the rent. We also have subsidized housing for people who can't afford rent. They have to apply, qaulify and go on a waiting list. But they look like nice apartments. I don't know if they have anything like that in California. But they really need to if they don't. I think a social worker who knows what options are available to them might be able to help them also. I don't have any idea what kind of assistance they have available there in California.

  2. I was interrupted, the subsidized housing I'm talking about here is for older people and disabled people. They have section 8 here as well.. We have a big military base here with the commissary and NEX. A VA hospital in Hampton. It's too bad they don't live here. I know there is a rental shortage in some places. A friend of mine had to rent 2 Air BNB's while she was looking to buy a house in Tennessee recently. That was really expensive. They may have to live temporarily in their truck and move to some place that's cheaper for them to live if they don't want to be Nomads. I wish them the best.
