Veteran Housing Promise Act

This bill changes federal law on programs for homeless veterans run by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It removes fixed dollar limits on how much Congress may provide for several of these programs and instead allows 'such sums as may be necessary' in future years. These include comprehensive service programs, reintegration programs, grants for homeless women veterans and veterans with children, supportive services for very low-income veteran families, special needs grants, and technical assistance grants for nonprofit groups. The bill also removes end dates from the VA's authority to run certain programs, such as treatment for seriously mentally ill homeless veterans, housing assistance, an advisory committee, and transfers of VA property, making them permanent.
