Rep. Kat Cammack announced that a new VA contract will continue funding housing for homeless veterans in Ocala and Gainesville, after her office worked with the agency to secure the agreement.
Cammack said veterans in Ocala and Gainesville would keep their housing under a new contract for Volunteers of America. Beginning October 1, the VA’s program will fund 36 beds in Ocala and 18 in Gainesville, within 102 beds across North Florida; the prior funding was due to expire September 30.
Cammack said she contacted VA Secretary Doug Collins after Volunteers of America sought help, and her district team worked with VA leadership to confirm the contract. The organization’s Florida president and CEO credited Cammack’s office with helping obtain the alternative funding.
