Key Points

  • Expands who can qualify for a homeless veterans health care program by adding one more eligible program category.
  • Makes a key homeless veterans health care program permanent instead of time-limited, so it doesn’t need to be renewed.
  • Makes a related program that provides extra services for homeless veterans permanent as well.
  • If passed, this could mean more homeless veterans can get ongoing health care and support services without gaps caused by expiring authority.
