Veterans Housing Opportunity Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, working with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to set up a HUD-VASH National Pool Pilot Program within one year. Under the program, HUD would identify local public housing agencies that are not using their HUD-VASH rental vouchers for veterans over a sustained period, notify them, and give them time to use the vouchers. After that, HUD could take back the unused vouchers and give them to other agencies for veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. HUD would report to Congress within three years, and the program would end after five years, with current voucher holders moving to the standard HUD-VASH program.
