To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a program to provide grants to certain surviving spouses of veterans to pay for housing.

HR 6197 creates a new program requiring the Veterans Affairs Secretary to provide housing grants to eligible surviving spouses of disabled veterans. These grants specifically target spouses already receiving dependency and indemnity compensation (a VA benefit for surviving spouses of veterans with service-connected disabilities). The program will prioritize applicants based on need, with $250 million authorized for fiscal years 2025-2029 to fund the grants. Applicants must submit a standard application to VA, and eligibility is limited to spouses of veterans who were deemed disabled by the VA.
