Today, Secretary Doug Collins of the Department of Veterans Affairs is delivering a keynote address at the Hudson Institute on putting veterans first. The VA announced that 48,968 homeless veterans were permanently housed in fiscal year 2026.

“Under President Trump, VA is working harder than ever to get homeless Veterans off the streets and back on the path to self-sufficiency,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins. “By finding permanent homes for nearly 4,000 Veterans each month, we are changing tens of thousands of lives for the better.”
Today, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, currently chaired by Representative Tim Walberg of Michigan, is holding a field hearing in Charlotte, North Carolina, titled “Workers in Charge: Restoring Choice and Accountability in the Workplace.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Collins as he heads the VA and its efforts to care for American veterans.
- For President Trump and officials in his Cabinet as they honor veterans this week.
- For members of Congress as they hold hearings, consider legislation, and conduct votes during the final weeks of the current term.
