HR 1960 United States House · 119th Congress

Simplifying Veterans Assistance Act of 2025

HR 1960, the Simplifying Veterans Assistance Act of 2025, modifies how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assists organizations applying for grants to support homeless veterans. It requires the VA to make online guidance and best practices publicly available and hold at least two mandatory pre-application information sessions for entities seeking these grants. Each session must last at least one hour, include Q&A, explain application language, and detail other assistance resources. This directly affects veterans' service organizations applying for homeless assistance grants under existing VA programs.
