Relating to an assessment on the use of surplus government property to provide housing to homeless veterans.

HB 2426 directs the Texas Coordinating Council for Veterans Services to form a workgroup that will study whether unused government buildings (including federal, state, and local properties) can be used to house homeless veterans. The workgroup, made up of agency leaders from the Texas Veterans Commission, General Land Office, Veterans' Land Board, and housing department, must evaluate available properties, identify funding sources like federal tax credits or private donations, and determine which veteran groups would benefit most. The study must be completed by November 2026, with a final report to the legislature, and the bill expires in 2027. This is a feasibility assessment bill with no immediate funding or housing requirements.
