HR 10148 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 38, United States Code, to expand the authority of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to make grants to entities that furnish services to homeless veterans.

This bill expands the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) authority to fund organizations that assist homeless veterans. It allows VA grants to cover help with accessing VA benefits (like disability compensation) and coordinating non-VA benefits from government programs or private nonprofits. The change also explicitly includes "conversion of units to permanent housing" as a valid use of grant funds under existing criteria. This directly affects homeless veterans seeking support and the service organizations providing housing and benefit navigation assistance.
