In Committee

Summary

Expands eligibility for VA health care for homeless veterans and makes key authorizations permanent. This bill would add 38 U.S.C. §2031 to the list that defines who can get services under the Health Care for Homeless Veterans Program, and it removes subsections that limited or timed program authorization.

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.
