The law specifically enables VA to provide:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Goods and services,\u00a0such as food, shelter, clothing, blankets and hygiene items, as well as tablets, smartphones, disposable phones and other technology that supports the stability and health of Veterans by facilitating easier connection with service providers, prospective landlords, and family members.<\/li>\n<li>Transportation\u00a0that helps Veterans attend medical appointments, search for housing and employment, or obtain food and supplies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/public-inspection\/2026-15301\/implementation-of-section-403-of-the-senator-elizabeth-dole-21st-century-veterans-healthcare-and\" rel=\"noopener\">As part of the program<\/a>, VA medical centers will be able to provide goods and services to Veterans, <strong>starting in early FY2027<\/strong>. Up to $11 million worth of this aid will be distributed to homeless Veterans upon the recommendation of VA clinicians across the country, and VA will track the distribution of this assistance nationally.<\/p>\n<p>VA is also inviting transportation companies to submit proposals to offer transportation services to homeless Veterans so they can attend medical appointments, counseling and other necessary appointments. VA expects to award these contracts by September 2026, and once they are operating, VA expects to provide up to $18 million worth of free transportation services for homeless Veterans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder President Trump, VA is making amazing progress keeping Veterans off the streets, and this critical program will help us continue these important efforts,\u201d said <strong>VA Secretary Doug Collins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This funding is one of several initiatives VA is undertaking to prevent Veteran homelessness:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In June, VA launched a new <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/press-room\/va-launches-partial-claim-program-to-help-veterans-avoid-home-foreclosure\/\">Partial Claims Program<\/a>, which can help Veterans with financial struggles avoid foreclosure.
