What does this do?
HR 3013 updates federal spending limits for the VA's comprehensive service program for homeless veterans. It extends the current limit through 2024, sets a new cap of $350 million for 2025, and allows "such sums as may be necessary" for 2026 and beyond.
Who does it affect?
The bill affects veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness, the VA, and the nonprofit and community organizations that partner with it to provide housing and support services.
Why does it matter?
Raising the authorization ceiling allows Congress to approve more funding in future budget bills, but actual spending still depends on separate appropriations decisions.
What does it cost, and who pays?
