Show full summary
- Homeless veterans: More veterans could qualify for Health Care for Homeless Veterans because the bill explicitly includes 38 U.S.C. §2031 in the program's eligibility criteria.
- Program continuity: The bill strikes limiting subsections in 38 U.S.C. §2031 and removes the sunset subsection of 38 U.S.C. §2033 so the Program of Additional Services for Homeless Veterans is permanently authorized.
