Congressman Sherman is working to secure additional funds for homeless veterans again this year.
I will work to secure additional funds for homeless veterans again this year.
Occurrences
Evidence
Sherman’s testimony says federal investments should help “permanently house homeless veterans and their families” and “address veteran homelessness at the West LA VA Campus and at other VA properties.”
Sherman announced that FY2026 community projects approved by the House included funding “to address homelessness and services for those in need,” with the release stating the projects were approved by the House and expected to pass the Senate next week.
Sherman’s veterans page says he worked with colleagues to pass the West Los Angeles VA Campus Improvement Act and that the House passed the bipartisan Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act, aimed at getting homeless disabled veterans into VA housing built for them.
Sherman’s FY2026 appropriations requests page shows he submitted community project funding requests for FY2026, indicating he sought federal appropriations in the relevant cycle.
The enacted appropriations text includes provisions “for carrying out programs to assist homeless veterans and veterans at risk of homelessness,” indicating federal funding in the enacted FY2026 law.
Congress.gov’s summary says the act provides appropriations through the end of FY2026 for military construction and veterans affairs programs, while most other programs were funded by continuing appropriations.
The FY2026 appropriations status table tracks enacted and pending appropriations measures, including FY2026 regular appropriations and continuing resolutions.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Sherman made concrete efforts in the relevant term to obtain funding related to homeless veterans, including testimony urging investments to permanently house homeless veterans and participation in the FY2026 appropriations process. Enacted FY2026 appropriations also included funding for programs assisting homeless veterans. However, the record provided does not clearly establish that Sherman himself secured distinct additional homeless-veterans funding 'again this year' as opposed to broader VA/homelessness funding enacted by Congress generally. Because there is evidence of meaningful effort and some aligned funding outcome, but not enough to credit full delivery of the specific promise, partial is the best fit.
