Jon Dieter, director of community services at Washington Longview Housing Authority, said recent national efforts to solve veterans' homelessness have led to a bounty of new housing resource partners in his state. But when officials tried to expand those efforts from cities to rural regions, the available partners suddenly disappeared.

So what they're saying is "We'll take care of our homeless veterans who lack medical care, but only if it's on our terms. Not theirs." Way to go VA.

I think the answer would have to be yes...when you are moving from Iowa to something LESS urban, I think 'sticks' might apply? Lots of people in camouflage, brothers dating sisters, and missing teeth? Just joking NW Arkansas, I have not looked close enough to see if you have any teeth...missing or otherwise.

This is not an issue for me now, but my wife and I are moving back to Wisconsin next year so this is becoming a concern to me. Thanks for posting SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S..
