The order directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish a National Center for Warrior Independence on the West Los Angeles VA Campus to provide care, benefits, and services to homeless veterans. It also instructs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to coordinate with other departments to redirect funds intended for other services towards this center. Additionally, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is instructed to use vouchers to support homeless veterans. The order also calls for increased accountability and service excellence within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The goal is to restore the capacity to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at the National Center for Warrior Independence by January 1, 2028.
