The new Executive Director of Oregon Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) and American Legion Chaplain Post 3 in Eugene, has initiated an Investigation into 32 Veterans being evicted from a Portland Hotel shut down for Black Mold. The Non-profit ‘Reveille Foundation’, allegedly never delivered the substance abuse treatment and meals for these veterans, yet the per diem from VA for 32 Vets is somewhere around $4500 a day. Steven Masone is also an American Legion Chaplain and Service officer who partnered with The Hope Center in Eugene OR, and The VA Hud/VASH Pgm, helped hundreds of homeless Vets into permanent housing. “This is outrageous! said Masone, "I have contacted the VA Inspector General, and am reaching out to Congressional contacts. Masone a Co-founder with Pastor James Rabe of the Hope Center started an Emergency Shelter for Veterans in Eugene, in Partnership with VA HUD-VASH Program. Masone has reported he spoke with a Mr. “Spitzer the Supervisor who approved Per Diem payments at the Vancouver VA Campus to inform them his Hope Center Homeless Veteran Program could house ten vets immediately in a remodeled home with on premisis substance abuse Program Director, but was told by Spitzer the VA has the veterans somewhere else but would not say where. Masone further reported that “The Vets should be told of all offers as I am sure more reputable programs who have not failed these Vets, have offered also.” Just today Feb 6th, Masone discovered the Eugene address for a Reveille FoundationPO Box had been vacant for two years. ‘Reveille Foundation lied about having an office and mailbox here and I can't believe the VA did not investigate Reveille Foundation "...said Steven Masone.
