More mental health centers would open for veterans across the country.
This bill would make sure every state and territory has a minimum number of Vet Centers, which offer mental health care. The Department of Veterans Affairs would need to open new centers or outstations within one year of the bill becoming law, improving access for veterans nationwide.
Today, there's no minimum number of Vet Centers required per state or territory. If this bill passes, the Department of Veterans Affairs would have to make sure each state and territory meets a specific minimum number of centers or outstations within one year, based on formulas tied to land area, veteran population, or existing facilities.
