Show full summary
- Veterans and their families would see continued support for programs serving homeless veterans, with a $350 million authorization for FY2025.
- VA and local service providers would get a defined FY2025 allocation and flexible funding authority later, which could aid planning and contract decisions.
- Federal funding rules would change by limiting the old paragraph (7) authorization to FY2015 through FY2024 and authorizing sums as needed for years after 2024.

More homeless veteran service funding
If enacted, the bill would change VA funding rules for programs that help veterans who are homeless. It would limit an existing authorization to fiscal years 2015 through 2024. It would authorize $350 million for fiscal year 2025 and would authorize such sums as may be necessary for each year after 2025. These are authorizations only; Congress would still need to appropriate the money before programs get payments.
