AI Summary
This bill lets the Department of Veterans Affairs give grants to veterans service organizations to fix or upgrade their buildings and technology. The money could pay for repairs or rehab of existing halls, and for tech like computers or network upgrades. It cannot be used to build or buy a new building. It authorizes $10 million, and the funds would stay available until they are used up.
To get a grant, a group must apply with a plan. The VA would pick winners based on need, the strength of the plan, and the group’s ability to carry it out. A group could receive up to the full cost of its plan or $75,000, whichever is higher, and then would be unable to get another grant for the next five fiscal years.
- Who is affected: Veterans service organizations chartered under federal law, including local posts and chapters.
- What changes: VA could award grants for building repairs, rehab, and technology upgrades; not for new construction or buying a new facility.
- Funding: $10 million total, available until spent.
- Limits: Grant cap tied to the project’s full cost or $75,000 (whichever is higher); no repeat grants for five fiscal years.
