What this amendment would do

SA 3055, submitted by Mr. Padilla, aims to add a new section to bill H.R. 3944. The purpose of this addition is to require a report on case management for the HUD-VASH program when provided by public housing authorities.

  • The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, working with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, must submit a report to the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of the Act's enactment.

  • This report focuses on guidelines that let public housing authorities provide temporary, transitional case management instead of the Department of Veterans Affairs in areas where HUD-VASH vouchers are available and allocated but underutilized because the Department lacks referrals.

  • The report must also include recommendations to improve this temporary case management process for eligible veterans to stop the underutilization of HUD-VASH vouchers.
