Every Veteran Housed Act

This bill changes who counts as a veteran for homelessness benefits run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. A person discharged or released from the uniformed services would qualify unless the discharge was dishonorable or resulted from a general court-martial sentence. Eligibility would not depend on how long the person served, whether they were in an active or reserve component, whether the service was active duty, or whether they are still serving. The bill also removes the minimum active-duty service requirement for these homelessness programs.
