It called for the government to deliver by next summer a plan to meet the target, which also included a special rent-assistance program for homeless veterans.
The Liberals' throne speech this month included a promise that the government will help ensure "that every homeless veteran has a place to call home," although it didn't provide a timeline to do so.
