• Support local construction training programs to provide veterans with the skills needed to pursue a career in home construction.

• Affordable & Permanent Supportive Housing Projects that include a 10% veterans residency application consideration should receive the same CEQA streamline exemptions granted to professional sports stadiums and arenas.

Additionally, BIASC will continue to support veteran outreach programs and engage in workforce development efforts. Most recently, the Builders for Better Communities Foundation sponsored the upcoming 25th Annual Tribute to Veterans and Military Families on May 27th. Hosted by LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, this annual event provided an opportunity to thank our veterans, service members, and their loved ones for their commitment to a lifetime of service. Through this event and others, we are eager to support efforts to equip attendees with access to programs, services, and benefits.

“We commend BIASC for their commitment to helping our veterans,” said Charles Helget, Executive Director of the California Association of Veterans Service Agencies. “They are a trusted voice on housing and will only strengthen our efforts.”

“Housing is such a critical issue of concern for our veterans, and we appreciate the efforts by BIASC to work with us on their behalf,” said Stephen Peck, President, CEO, US Vets.
