President Trump's budget proposal included no money for a promised facility to house thousands of homeless veterans in Los Angeles, drawing bipartisan criticism from lawmakers who accused the administration of a lack of transparency.

President Donald Trump pledged via executive order to build a National Center for Warrior Independence on the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center campus to house 6,000 homeless veterans by January 1, 2028, but his $2.2 trillion fiscal 2027 budget allocated zero dollars for the project, sparking bipartisan outrage and accusations of corruption from lawmakers including Rep. Mike Bost and Rep. Derrick Van Orden during a May 13 House Veterans Affairs Committee hearing, while his administration also made VA officials sign nondisclosure agreements about the project.
