HR 7047 United States House · 119th Congress

Health Care for Homeless Veterans Act

HR 7047, the Health Care for Homeless Veterans Act, expands eligibility for veterans' health care services by adding Section 2031 to the qualifying criteria under existing law. This change allows more homeless veterans to access the program, directly affecting those who previously did not meet the specific eligibility requirements. The bill also permanently authorizes the program by removing expiration language and adjusting administrative provisions in Title 38 of the U.S. Code. These changes ensure the program continues without needing annual reauthorization and broadens access to critical health services for homeless veterans.
