Hospital and Outpatient Care for Veterans Released From Incarceration to Transitional Housing

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced the adoption of a proposed rule that amends the medical regulations to authorize VA to provide hospital and outpatient care to a veteran in a program that provides temporary housing upon release from incarceration in a prison or jail and permits VA to work with these veterans while they are in these programs with the goal of continuing to work with them after their release, which will assist in preventing homelessness in this population of veterans
