Enhanced Support for Homeless Veterans: Limiting Caseloads for Case Managers.

This law aims to improve the quality of support for homeless veterans in the VA's supported housing program. It mandates that case managers handle no more than 35 veterans at a time, ensuring more focused and effective assistance. The law also requires the VA to quickly contract with local providers to fill long-term case manager vacancies.
Key points
Homeless veterans will receive more focused support: case managers are limited to a maximum of 35 assigned veterans, improving the quality of care.
If a case manager position is vacant for 180 days or more, the VA must hire local experts to ensure veterans continue receiving necessary services.
The VA must ensure veterans live within a reasonable distance of their assigned case manager for easier access to support.
