Summary
This bill expands the Secretary of Veterans Affairs' authority to make grants to entities that provide services to homeless veterans. The bill adds two new categories of assistance that grant recipients can provide: help in obtaining veterans' benefits administered by the VA, and assistance in obtaining and coordinating other benefits under federal, state, or local law, or from private nonprofits and consumer cooperatives. The bill also clarifies that facility improvements funded through these grants can include conversion of housing units to permanent housing for veterans. These expansions broaden the types of support services that VA grant recipients can deliver to homeless veterans.
