Ending Veteran Homelessness: Improved Housing Vouchers and Case Management Protections.
This law strengthens the HUD-VASH program, making it easier for homeless veterans or those at risk to access housing vouchers and support. A critical change prevents veterans from losing housing assistance or facing eviction solely because they refuse case management services. The law prioritizes vulnerable veterans with disabilities and provides financial support to housing agencies for administrative costs and security deposits.
