Bill overview
The Housing Homeless Veterans Act of 2019 aims to improve the effectiveness of the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program, which provides rental assistance to homeless veterans. The bill directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to prioritize funding to public housing agencies that serve areas with high numbers of homeless veterans and have fully utilized their existing funds. It also establishes a process for HUD to recapture unused vouchers from agencies with declining homeless populations and redistribute them to agencies that have exhausted their allocations.
