Bill overview
The VISIT Act of 2020 establishes a pilot program within the Department of Veterans Affairs to address social isolation and loneliness among veterans, members of the Armed Forces, and their families. This program, called ‘VISIT pay for results,’ will fund national service projects designed to improve the well-being of these individuals. The program operates in two tiers, with Tier 1 focusing on initial project selection and Tier 2 potentially launching if sufficient qualified entities aren't identified in Tier 1. It emphasizes rigorous evaluation and partnerships with organizations like veterans service organizations.
