End Veteran Homelessness Act of 2025

This bill aims to reduce veteran homelessness by improving the HUD–VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) voucher program. It lets more veterans qualify for vouchers: anyone who is homeless, at risk of homelessness, or already getting other housing help if the VA decides a HUD-VASH voucher fits better. The VA must provide case management to veterans who need it and focus first on the most vulnerable, including those with disabilities. If a veteran turns down case management, they cannot lose their voucher or be evicted for that reason alone; the same protections apply if case management is paused for safety reasons.

The bill also adds oversight and support. It calls for yearly reports on how vouchers and case management are used, plus a one-time Government Accountability Office study on who is being served and how stable their housing is . It allows funds to help local housing agencies cover admin costs, security deposits, and owner support so more vouchers get leased quickly.

• Who is affected: Veterans who are homeless or at risk; VA case managers; local housing agencies; landlords .
• What changes:
  • More veterans can get housing vouchers, not just those with certain diagnoses.
  • Veterans keep their housing even if they refuse case management; agencies and landlords can’t penalize them for that alone.
  • VA must prioritize the most vulnerable and report yearly on staffing, services, and voucher use.
  • GAO will review results, and housing agencies get help with admin and leasing costs .
• When:
  • GAO report is due within one year after the law takes effect; agency reports happen every year .
