Rep. Steven Horsford, representing Nevada’s 4th district, addressed the termination of a vital veterans’ assistance program through a series of tweets. He expressed concern regarding the impact of the decision on veteran homeowners who relied on the support provided by this initiative. This coverage presents Horsford’s statements from the dated tweets.
In a post dated April 6, 2025, Horsford stated, “Trump just ended a critical program that helps veterans avoid foreclosure. The VASP program was a lifeline for veterans struggling to keep their homes. Now? 80,000 could be left with nowhere to turn.” He highlighted the implications of ending this support system.
Continuing his critique on the same date, Horsford wrote, “Republicans claim — with zero evidence — that the program encourages people to stop paying their mortgages. In reality, ending it puts lives and livelihoods at risk. This isn’t leadership – it’s chaos.” This statement underscores his rejection of the reasoning provided for the cessation of the program.
Horsford further emphasized the program’s successes and potential unfulfilled assistance in another tweet from April 6, 2025: “Over 17,000 veterans have already been helped. 80,000 more were eligible. Now they’ve been abandoned. The Trump Administration is once again turning its back on veterans in crisis.” His comments suggest a deep concern for the welfare of affected veterans.
