Improving Mental Health Care and Coordination for Homeless Veterans Act

This bill would require staff in the Department of Veterans Affairs homeless program to assess a veteran within three days after identifying the veteran as needing homeless program services. The assessment would cover the veteran's physical and mental health needs, include a plan for immediate and long-term needs, and identify appropriate housing for the veteran. Staff would have to make sure the assessment information matches the veteran's electronic health record and that personal information is handled according to department policy and federal law. The director of the Homeless Program Office would have to make sure staff monitor how these plans are carried out.
