Georgia U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock met with officials from the Atlanta Veterans Administration Monday to discuss issues facing those who’ve served in the U.S. military.

It comes just a few days after Warnock toured the Veterans Empowerment Organization in Atlanta. The facility helps veterans struggling with mental or physical health issues, looking for a job or experiencing homelessness.

“This is an amazing program,” Warnock said. “I toured a transitional housing program here. I’ve heard the stories of veterans who were homeless and are now gainfully employed. They have been given the support that they need to move into self-sufficiency.”
