One of the things we are really focused on is the aging veterans. Again, other members have mentioned the needs of the aging veterans.
We're keeping in mind how we deliver programs to that group of veterans, and spouses--partners who have waited so long. As I said in my opening remarks, we've identified the ones who needed it the most and who have waited the longest.
The $292 million we've budgeted for that new group will bring 12,000 to 15,000 new entrants into the program. It allows them to remain at home longer. It takes care of some of their basic needs, maintenance of their home and so on. I guess it's the same thing all of us have to deal with as we age.
There's that little bit of help to those who need it the most and who have waited the longest. The number comes down to somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 people who will become part of a program they were left out of in the past.
