S 4043 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Health Care for Homeless Veterans Act

This bill makes permanent the authority of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide treatment and rehabilitation services to seriously mentally ill and homeless veterans. It amends the United States Code by removing a temporary expiration clause that previously limited this program. The legislation directly affects veterans who face both mental health challenges and homelessness, ensuring they can continue receiving support without interruption. By codifying this authority into law, the bill removes the need for periodic renewal of the program.
