Authorizes grants to purchase and rehabilitate abandoned homes for homeless veterans.
This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program authorizing $1 million annually in state grants to qualified nonprofit organizations. The grants fund purchasing and rehabilitating abandoned homes for homeless veterans, as well as modifying existing primary residences for eligible veterans with disabilities or low income. Eligible veterans must be homeless (living in shelters, temporary housing, or without legal occupancy rights) or low-income (earning ≤50% of median household income). Grants can cover accessibility modifications (like ramps), home repairs, and energy-efficient upgrades that reduce utility costs by 10% or more.
