Helping Homeless Veterans Act

Summary#

This bill would change parts of title 38 of the United States Code to make certain veterans programs permanent and to change some program rules. It would amend sections 2031, 2041, 2044, 2061, and 2066 of title 38. One change would add a line that provides $420,000,000 for each fiscal year after fiscal year 2026 for supportive services for very low-income veteran families in permanent housing. Other changes remove or replace specific subsections, including removing a subsection of the Advisory Committee on Homeless Veterans.

No publicly available information on how these changes would affect individual veterans or eligibility is included in the bill text.
