Veteran Jobs Training Act

The Veteran Jobs Training Act is a House-introduced bill that would amend title 38 of the United States Code to boost the funding authorization for the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). The bill revises the existing appropriation language to ensure a dedicated annual funding level and adds a specific new authorization of $75 million per fiscal year beginning in 2024 (and continuing thereafter). In short, if enacted, Congress would authorize higher, fixed funding for HVRP to support job training, placement, and reintegration services for homeless veterans. It does not itself provide the money; it authorizes that money to be appropriated by Congress in future annual budgets. Potential impact: More financial resources for HVRP could expand outreach, employment services, training, case management, and job placement for homeless veterans, potentially improving employment outcomes and veteran stability. Real-world funding depends on annual appropriations by Congress, but the bill sets a clear, dedicated funding target going forward.
