Bill Summary
A BILL To rescind an amount appropriated to the United States Agency for International Development and appropriate such amount to the Department of Veterans Affairs for the construction of State homes for veterans.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "Veterans First Act of 2025," proposes to redirect $2 billion in funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for constructing and improving state-level veterans' care facilities. The legislation would permanently rescind $2 billion from USAID's unobligated balance and appropriate that same amount to the VA for grants that will help states acquire, construct, remodel, modify, or alter nursing homes, domiciliary facilities, and hospital facilities for veterans. These grants are authorized under sections 8131 through 8138 of title 38 of the United States Code, which govern state veterans' facilities, and the funds would remain available for expenditure until fully used. The bill aims to support improved healthcare infrastructure for veterans at the state level by reallocating existing federal funds.
