Every Veteran Housed Act

This bill expands who can get housing and homelessness help from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It widens the meaning of “veteran” for these programs so more people with military service can qualify. It says people are eligible if they left service under conditions other than dishonorable or a general court‑martial sentence—no matter how long they served, whether they were active duty or Reserve, whether they are still serving now, and even if they had another period of service that ended under worse conditions. It also updates related rules so minimum active‑duty time requirements don’t block access to these homelessness benefits.

Key points

• Who is affected: People with military service who need VA housing or homelessness help, including many who previously didn’t qualify.
• What changes: Eligibility no longer depends on length of service, type of component (active or Reserve), current status, or having another service period with a worse discharge; it also aligns rules so minimum service‑time requirements don’t prevent access to these benefits.
• Impact: More veterans and service members at risk of homelessness can get VA support to find and keep housing.
