What does this do?
HR 2077 would establish the Veteran Family Resource Program within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA would be required to hire family coordinators and place at least one in each of its regional networks nationwide within five years. These coordinators would work at VA medical centers to help veterans and their families identify benefits and services available through the VA and community organizations.
Who does it affect?
The bill would most directly affect veterans receiving VA health care, their family members, caregivers, and surviving family members of deceased veterans. VA staff would also be affected, as new coordinator positions would be created.
Why does it matter?
The VA would be required to report to Congress on program results, including data on who used it and whether it produced measurable differences in veterans' health and family well-being. The bill also requires the VA to survey disabled veterans and their families to identify unmet support needs for children in veteran households.
