HR 9415 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 38, United States Code, to require that domiciliary facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs and State homes that provide housing to veterans have resident advocates.

HR 9415 requires all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) domiciliary facilities and state-run veteran homes providing housing to appoint a resident advocate. The advocate must serve as a direct liaison between veterans and facility staff, receive and address veterans' complaints, and escalate unresolved issues to facility directors, the VA Inspector General, or state officials. This applies to both VA facilities and state homes seeking federal payment for veteran care. The bill creates a formal mechanism for veterans to report concerns without relying solely on facility management.
