It was an exciting day for one Charleston woman who left the Capitol city -- to head to the U.S. Capitol.

Amy Weintraub, the Executive Director of the Covenant House, spoke today on Capitol Hill.
The focus was homelessness -- specifically, the re-authorization of the McKinney - Vento Homeless Assistance Act.

Weintraub was asked to speak by Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito. She was given five minutes to speak and called part the legislation “beautiful”, while saying other parts were “flawed”.

Weintraub said it was also very interesting to also hear others testify.

Thursday we did speak with Congresswoman Capito who said Weintraub’s perspective was an important one.

Tonight we will be catching up with Amy when she lands at Yeager Airport.

Be sure to catch WSAZ NewsChannel 3 Tonight at 11.
