What this bill would do

This bill, H.R. 3014, aims to help homeless veterans by expanding the types of assistance the Secretary of Veterans Affairs can provide grants for. It includes help with obtaining benefits and coordinating services. The bill also broadens the criteria for grants to include converting facilities into permanent housing.

Potential Positive Impacts for People

  • Expanded Assistance for Homeless Veterans (Section 1(a)): The bill adds new paragraphs to Section 2011 of title 38, allowing grants to be used for helping veterans obtain benefits from the Secretary and coordinating other benefits from federal, state, or local laws, as well as private organizations. This could significantly improve access to resources and support for homeless veterans.

  • Permanent Housing (Section 1(b)): Amending subsection (b)(1)(A) to include "conversion of units to permanent housing" as part of facility alteration means grants can be used to create stable housing. This is a positive step, because it could reduce homelessness among veterans.
