Supporting Veteran Families in Need Act
United States119th CongressHR-585House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 25, 2025
Summary
This legislation seeks to establish a permanent funding mechanism for crucial support services provided by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It specifically targets very low-income veteran families who are living in permanent housing, ensuring they continue to receive necessary assistance without interruption. The bill achieves this by amending title 38, United States Code, to make the authority for providing such financial assistance permanent, thereby solidifying long-term support for these vulnerable families. This amendment ensures that appropriations for these supportive services will be authorized for fiscal year 2027 and all subsequent fiscal years . By making this authority permanent, the bill removes the need for periodic reauthorization, providing stability and predictability for programs aiding veteran families in need.
