Relating to a pilot program awarding grants for the provision of personalized treatment protocols for homeless veterans diagnosed with substance use disorders.

HB 2754 establishes a pilot program to award grants for personalized treatment protocols for at least 100 homeless veterans diagnosed with substance use disorders. The program, administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission with the Texas Veterans Commission, requires grant recipients to provide comprehensive services including mental health treatment, medical detox, supportive housing during treatment, and intensive outpatient care. Recipients must also collaborate with local organizations to connect veterans with transitional housing, job training, and long-term care after treatment. The program requires a final evaluation report by October 2026 to assess its effectiveness in serving this specific population.
