New York S04218 requires state agencies to house homeless veterans based on federal housing first principles without preconditions or barriers.

New York S04218 mandates that state agencies providing shelter to homeless veterans do so based on federal housing first principles, without preconditions or barriers. This includes immediate housing for any homeless veteran who requests it, which may be transitional or permanent housing. Service-intensive housing is only provided in limited instances and only if the veteran chooses to remain despite the availability of permanent housing. The bill also requires an annual report on resources, plans, partnerships, and system capacity for housing homeless veterans.
