Summary

Existing law requires the California Housing Finance Agency, the Department of Housing and Community Development, and the Department of Veterans Affairs to work together to administer the Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Bond Act of 2014 to provide for the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable multifamily supportive housing, affordable transitional housing, affordable rental housing, or related facilities for veterans and their families to allow veterans to access and maintain housing stability. Existing law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to publicize information pertaining to benefit programs that are available to qualified homeless veterans, including, but not limited to, the federal Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing voucher program, and any programs that assist homeless veterans in securing rental housing. This bill would require the Department of Housing and Community Development, after consulting with the Department of Veterans Affairs, to establish a program to provide on an annual basis a grant to eligible cities, counties, or nonprofit organizations that provide services to homeless veterans. The bill would require these grants to be used to provide veterans who receive a federal Supportive Housing voucher, but may or may not be eligible for funds from the federal Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Services for Veteran Families program, with supplemental funding for one or more move-in expenses, as defined.
