Governor Bob McDonnell announced today that a new website has been
developed for his Housing Policy Advisory Committee. The website (www.VirginiaHousingPolicy.com)
contains important information about the housing policy initiative
including the Governor’s Executive Order No. 10, meeting dates, and
other housing related information for the public. In addition,
through the website, the Committee is seeking comments and ideas
from Virginia citizens on ways to provide more affordable housing.

Information received from Senator Barbara Boxer:
"A new benefit from the Department of Defense offers compensation to
service members who were kept in the military under the “stop loss”
policy, which extended service for many members of the military. I
urge you to spread the word to anyone you know who might have been
impacted by the Department of Defense stop loss policy. The
Department of Defense estimates that approximately 185,000 personnel
are eligible for Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay of $500 per month
for every month of stop loss service."
Don't let any veterans miss out on this benefit if they've earned
it. If you or someone you know is eligible for this payment, visit
one of these websites to learn more:

I’d
like to bring to your attention a new resource that is now available
for wounded, ill and injured service members, veterans and their
families.
The National Resource Directory (www.nationalresourcedirectory.org)
is a web site for wounded, ill and injured service members, veterans,
their families and families of the fallen, and those who support
them. The Directory provides over ten thousand services and resources
available through governmental and non-governmental organizations to
support recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration into the
community.
Developed by the Departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs,
the mission of the National Resource Directory is to:
• Serve as an online resource during the journey from recovery
through rehabilitation to community reintegration.
• Provide information on, and access to, the full range of
medical and non-medical services and resources needed to achieve
personal and professional goals.
• Link to support services and resources available across
federal, state and local governmental agencies; veteran benefit and
service organizations; non-profit, professional, philanthropic,
community and faith-based organizations; and academic institutions.
• Connect to the Wounded Warrior Resource Center call center
and professionals who are available to provide assistance 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The
National Resource Directory addresses the need for improved access to
information on services and resources, which was identified by both
the President’s Commission on Care for America’s Returning Wounded
Warriors and Title XVI, “Wounded Warrior Matters,” of the 2008
National Defense Authorization Act.

Directory, visit
