Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

This bill would move $2 billion that has not yet been used at the U.S. Agency for International Development over to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The money would be given out as grants to help states build new veterans nursing homes, add living facilities, or upgrade and remodel existing state-run homes and hospitals that care for veterans. The funds would stay available until they are spent.

Key points

Who is affected: Veterans who rely on state-run homes, and states that build or improve these facilities.
What changes: $2 billion is taken back from USAID’s unused funds and redirected to VA grants for construction and upgrades of state veterans homes.
When: The grant funds would remain available until they are fully used.
