Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. recently facilitated the permanent housing for veteran U.S. Army Private Robert Shaw III, who suffered a life-altering accident resulting in the amputation of both his legs above the knee. The brave veteran expressed his gratitude, stating, "It's so great to be home. Thank you to all the people who made this happen. Thank you to my Congressman and his incredible staff. I know I will need a lifetime of help and support, please don't forget about me."

In a statement, Congressman Kean highlighted the importance of providing support to veterans in need, saying, "No American hero who bravely served our country should have to endure what he did. Securing permanent housing together with the VA, HUD, NJ DHS, and other partners is important so we can give this veteran a place to call home."

Mr. Shaw's journey to secure permanent housing was marked by struggles with red tape and medical rehab. Congressman Kean's District Office played a crucial role in assisting Mr. Shaw, who had faced both physical and mental challenges. Congressman Kean emphasized the need for continued support for veterans, urging them to seek assistance whenever needed.
