Trump Signs Order for National Center for Warrior Independence to House 6,000 Homeless Veterans by 2028

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence in Los Angeles, aimed at addressing homelessness among veterans. The initiative will redirect funds previously allocated for housing services for illegal immigrants to the construction and maintenance of the new center on the Veterans Affairs West LA campus. The center is designed to promote self-sufficiency among veterans through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work. The White House has set a goal to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at the center by 2028. Los Angeles is home to approximately 3,000 homeless veterans, representing about 10% of the national total. This executive order reflects a shift in policy to prioritize the needs of American veterans over those of illegal immigrants.
