How Government can work

Today My partner bill and I repeatedly broke the Veterans Administration rules concerning the procedures for helping veterans. We helped expedite three older veterans acquire housing two were on the verge of being homeless and one was already without a place to sleep. With bill's guidance and a little bit of extra effort we were able to provide the needed help and get these older veterans a place to live.
The reality of this situation is that we violated several policies and took up slack for social workers who could have done what bill and I accomplished without the effort we put into the task.
Unfortunately if we would have followed the rules these three men would have been sleeping in the street .
