Disabled Veterans Home Facing Closure

 This is typical of situations in almost every major American City. 31% of all Homeless in this Nation are homeless Veterans. We need to pray. This is a National disgrace and getting worse as the ranks of Veterans swells day after day. Please Pray for our Veterans and Active Duty Troops!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A charity housing disabled veterans may have to shut its doors.Many of the current residents are formerly homeless and may end up in the streets again if the organization doesn't come up with a lot cash.Highpointe Solutions provides apartments and a plush living environment for 38 non-violent, disabled residents, including David Cohen."It means that somebody cares about all of us here," Cohen said.Of all the people who live there, 95 percent are veterans.Cohen served three tours in the Vietnam War and said it means the world to him for the owner to show such kindness to the men and women who have served this country."Faye busts her back end to raise money and keep us all here," Cohen said.But in a down economy, Highpointe Solutions has run into financial problems. If the charity does not raise $160,000 by September the bank will foreclose and the vets will lose their homes."Some will end up back on the street definitely," said Dave Weaver, with Highpointe Solutions.Weaver said if the disabled vets end up on the streets they will be using emergency services a lot more and that's money that will come out of taxpayers' pockets."It's like answered a prayer for me," said Joe Bookout.Bookout's brother, James, has lived at Highpointe Solutions for two years."Just to have a nice secure place for him to live just means everything to me and to my mom," Bookout said.But if the charity closes, Bookout doesn't know where his brother will find a home.An active duty colonel in Iraq donated $10,000 to help Highpointe Solutions stay open.
