Supporting Veteran Families in Need Act
HR 3186, the Supporting Veteran Families in Need Act, permanently authorizes funding for supportive services for very low-income veteran families living in permanent housing. It amends Section 2044(e) of the U.S. Code to establish ongoing annual funding authority starting in fiscal year 2025, replacing previous temporary or annual appropriations. This change ensures consistent financial assistance for essential services like childcare, transportation, and counseling that help these families maintain stable housing. The bill directly affects eligible veteran families meeting specific income and housing criteria, providing them with reliable support through a permanent funding mechanism.
