Creates a new program to offer free, specialized mental health care to veterans through local non-profit facilities.
This bill would start a three-year program to help veterans get free, specialized mental health care. It would authorize $20 million each year for three years to make available grants to non-profit mental health facilities. These facilities would offer care tailored to veterans' needs and encourage them to connect with VA services.
Currently, there is no specific three-year pilot program from the Department of Veterans Affairs that provides grants to non-profit outpatient mental health facilities for specialized mental health care for veterans. If this bill becomes law, the VA would start a three-year pilot program, with $20 million authorized each year for fiscal years 2025-2027. This money would fund non-profit facilities to offer free, culturally competent mental health care to veterans, and encourage veterans to enroll in VA services.
