The "Veterans First Act of 2025" aims to redirect significant federal funding to support veterans' care facilities. It proposes to rescind $2 billion from the unobligated balances of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). These rescinded funds would then be appropriated to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) . The VA would use this appropriation to provide grants to States, assisting them in the acquisition, construction, remodeling, or alteration of State nursing home and domiciliary facilities specifically for veterans. This initiative seeks to enhance the infrastructure available for providing care to veterans across the nation, with the funds remaining available until expended.
