HR 3869 United States House · 119th Congress

Every Veteran Housed Act

This bill (HR 3869, the Every Veteran Housed Act) expands eligibility for veterans' homelessness benefits by redefining who qualifies as a "veteran" under existing law. It removes barriers for veterans discharged under conditions other than dishonorable or by general court-martial, regardless of service length, component (active/reserve), or current military status. The bill ensures these veterans can access housing assistance programs without being excluded due to prior discharge status or service details. It makes minor conforming changes to related provisions but does not create new benefits or alter funding. This directly affects veterans previously excluded from homelessness assistance due to technical discharge or service criteria.
