In 2024, a California district court judge found that the current lack of housing increases the risk that veterans will fall into homelessness, so it ordered the Veteran’s Administration (VA) to build more housing at the West Los Angeles VA grounds.  After the VA appealed to the Ninth Circuit, GMSR filed an amicus brief defending the ruling on behalf of Vietnam Veterans of America, AMVETS Dept. of California, and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.  As reported in Law360, GMSR’s brief demonstrates that the recent Los Angeles wildfires have further increased homelessness among veterans, reinforcing the urgent need for the VA to comply with its housing obligations.
