Summary
Housing Homeless Veterans Act of 2017
This bill amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in making Veterans Affairs-Supported Housing (VASH) program funds available among public-housing agencies (PHAs) for rental voucher assistance for homeless veterans who have chronic mental illnesses or chronic substance-use disorders, to give priority to PHAs that: (1) serve areas having the highest numbers of homeless veterans, and (2) have fully utilized their available HUD-VASH funds for the preceding fiscal year and have demonstrated need for such incremental assistance.
HUD shall: (1) recapture from a PHA certain unused HUD-VASH assistance, and (2) reallocate recaptured amounts to PHAs that have used their entire allocations of HUD-VASH assistance.
