Solid Start Act of 2021

The Solid Start Act of 2021, also known as Bill 117 hr 2819, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of providing support to veterans transitioning to civilian life. The bill focuses on improving the transition process for veterans by establishing a pilot program that offers personalized assistance to help them find stable employment, housing, and other essential services.

Under the Solid Start Act, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would be required to implement the pilot program in at least three regions across the country. The program would provide veterans with a dedicated case manager who would work closely with them to identify their individual needs and connect them with resources and support services in their community.

Additionally, the bill aims to improve coordination between the VA and other federal agencies, as well as state and local organizations, to ensure that veterans receive comprehensive support during their transition. This includes assistance with accessing healthcare, mental health services, and educational opportunities. Overall, the Solid Start Act of 2021 seeks to address the challenges that many veterans face when transitioning to civilian life and provide them with the support they need to successfully reintegrate into society. The bill has garnered bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a positive step towards improving the well-being of our nation's veterans.
