End Veteran Homelessness Act of 2025

Prioritizing Vulnerable Veterans: Section 2(a) requires the Secretary to prioritize vulnerable homeless veterans, including those with chronic mental illness, chronic substance abuse disorders, or chronic physical disabilities, when assigning case managers and providing services. This ensures that the veterans with the greatest needs receive necessary support first.

Protection Against Revocation and Eviction for Refusing Case Management: Section 3(1)(C) states that if a veteran refuses case management, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, public housing authorities, and property owners cannot revoke rental assistance or evict the veteran solely based on that refusal. This protects veterans from losing their housing simply because they declined case management services.

Protection During Suspended Case Management: Section 3(1)(C) also specifies that if a veteran's case management is suspended for the health and safety of the veteran or the case manager, the property owner cannot evict or penalize the veteran solely on the basis of that suspension. This safeguards the housing stability of veterans during safety-related interruptions in their care.

Support for Ongoing Engagement: Section 3(1)(C) requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to make recurring attempts to engage and build a relationship with veterans who refuse case management, promote housing stability, and provide case management if the veteran subsequently requests it. This ensures veterans keep a pathway open to receive help whenever they are ready.
