Strengthens the HUD‑VASH program so veterans most at risk get timely case management and stable housing. It directs the VA to prioritize vulnerable homeless veterans for case managers and requires detailed annual reporting to Congress on who is served, staffing, services, voucher use, and barriers—broken down by location and, when appropriate, by demographic groups.
Updates voucher rules so HUD must provide rental assistance in certain situations, requires VA case management in some cases, and protects veterans from losing assistance or being evicted solely because they refuse case management or it is suspended. It also allows administrative fees for local housing agencies and orders a GAO study within one year on veteran demographics, case manager capacity and quality, recruitment and retention, and housing stability outcomes.
Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
