End Veteran Homelessness: Improved Housing Support and Care

This act aims to enhance the HUD-VASH housing support program for veterans to more effectively combat homelessness. It introduces changes in case manager assignments, ensures housing assistance even if care is refused, and increases flexibility in using housing vouchers, making it easier for veterans to access stable housing and necessary support.
Key points
Homeless veterans or those at risk of homelessness will be prioritized for case manager assignments, especially those with disabilities.
Housing assistance will not be revoked if a veteran refuses case management, and landlords cannot evict them for this reason.
Housing vouchers will also be available for veterans who do not require ongoing case management, increasing program accessibility.
Annual reports on the HUD-VASH program are mandated to monitor its effectiveness and identify barriers.
