Taking steps to end homelessness among US war veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs is making the fight against veteran homelessness a top priority, with a goal of putting an end to it over the next two years.

Tommy Sowers is one of the people tasked with making that goal a reality. He was sworn in last summer as the Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs at the US Department of Veteran's Affairs.

Sowers is in Los Angeles today to meet with several veterans organizations, and joins "Take Two" live in studio.
