VA Proposes Rule to Prioritize Assistance for Low Income Veteran Families The Department of Veterans Affairs is proposing a new rule that would require that grantees under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program provide permanent housing assistance to eligible veteran families who would likely become homeless without it.

The deadline to submit comments on the proposed rule is June 23. More information Hill Update Appropriations Subcommittee Marks
