first of all, my name is kristi cheatham. i'm from houston, texas. i'm with catholic charity. my first question is about veterans. i feel even though i'm grateful for what the va -- i'm a veteran myself. even though i'm grateful for what the va has done so far, there are a lot of other initiatives for homeless female veterans that i feel that the va can do more. a lot of our female veterans have older children. a lot of shelters can't house a 16-year-old. a lot of the shelters won't even take children. therefore a female veteran is limited in her option. a lot of the grants we receive from the federal government are more male-driven. and some of them allow easier access for male veterans and female veterans. what do you suggest i do or we do to kind of champion those causes for housing for our v female veterans? and second as far as our female veterans again, is there a type of coalition or something that is making major changes within the va system to be more female-friendly as far as health care? gynecologist and things of that nature. a lot of women we have to wait 30 days
