Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the VA’s support for homeless veterans by ensuring adequate staffing within its supported housing program. Specifically, it requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to maintain a ratio of at least one program manager for every 35 rental assistance cases. The bill also mandates the VA to provide case management support when requested by local housing authorities and requires regular reporting on waivers to this staffing requirement. Finally, it restricts the VA’s ability to reallocate funds from specific programs to general funds without congressional approval.
