Less than a week after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced it filed a complaint against the Veterans Administration (VA) for failing to house homeless veterans at its West Los Angeles campus, federal elected officials and the VA have responded with press releases and a letter claiming they're on top of the controversy.

While the VA and legislators in Washington have declined to issue statements referring directly to the lawsuit, two press releases and a letter signed by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Representative Henry Waxman released after the ACLU announced its complaint Wednesday tout their actions on behalf of homeless veterans in Los Angeles.
