    Idea Submission for The People's Money:
    \n
    Program to provide veterinary medical services for animals that can then be trained as emotional support service animals for those who need mental health therapy, especially low-income families, the unhoused, and veterans. These populations would also receive outreach for information related to housing, food, employment opportunities, and health.
