AI Summary
This bill, the Affordable Housing for Homeless Veterans Act of 2021, aims to expand and extend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assistance for homeless veterans. It broadens the VA's ability to provide shelter or permanent housing to veterans, including by allowing the VA to sell or rent properties directly to homeless veterans or those at risk of homelessness. The bill also extends the authorization for this VA assistance program from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2025, giving the VA more time to continue and expand its efforts to address veteran homelessness.
