Supporting Veteran Families in Need Act

Supporting Veteran Families in Need Act

This bill permanently extends authorization for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program of the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides supportive services to very low-income veterans (and their families) occupying or transitioning to permanent housing.

Bill 119 HR 585, also known as the "Supportive Services for Veteran Families Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code to make permanent the authority of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide financial assistance for supportive services for very low-income veteran families in permanent housing.

The bill seeks to ensure that veterans and their families who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless have access to the necessary supportive services to help them secure and maintain stable housing. These services may include case management, transportation, child care, and other forms of assistance that can help veterans and their families address the underlying issues contributing to their housing instability.

By making this authority permanent, the bill aims to provide a more stable and reliable source of funding for these critical supportive services, ensuring that they remain available to those who need them most. This legislation is crucial in supporting our nation's veterans and their families, who have sacrificed so much in service to our country. Overall, Bill 119 HR 585 is a bipartisan effort to address the ongoing issue of veteran homelessness and provide the necessary resources to help veterans and their families achieve stable and secure housing.
