Summary

The Secretary must create and run a National Center on Homelessness Among Veterans. The center must, when possible, work separately from the Department’s other programs that deal with veteran homelessness. The center must study why veterans become homeless and review how well the Department’s programs meet their needs. It must find and share proven ways to help, including housing stabilization, income support, job help, and community partnerships. The center must bring those evidence-based practices into the Department’s programs and help staff and community partners use them. It must also act as a resource and help coordinate research and training information from the Department and other groups.
