No guardianship for homeless veterans

Homeless Veterans need homes, not involuntary institutionalization. The Trump administrations plan to put homeless vets into guardianship is a violation of the rights they sacrificed to defend. Instead of institutionalizing them we should spend that money on housing them and providing supportive ser
