This bill would change title 38 of the U.S. Code to make permanent the Secretary of Veterans Affairs' authority to provide treatment and rehabilitation for seriously mentally ill and homeless veterans. The text amends section 2031 by removing a subsection and adjusting wording so the authority is no longer temporary.
If you are a veteran who is homeless or has a serious mental illness, the bill aims to keep in place a VA authority to provide treatment and rehabilitation. The bill text does not describe specific services, eligibility rules, or how programs would change.
