This bill would create a new federal grant program through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help states, territories, and Indian tribes set up or run offices that plan for and respond to extreme weather and other challenges. These offices would work to make communities stronger against disasters, with a focus on vulnerable areas. It would set aside $100 million each year for six years for this purpose.

This bill would improve mental health services for veterans across the country. It would offer annual mental health check-ups for some veterans and extend a key suicide prevention grant program. The bill also focuses on better care for women veterans and those with spinal cord injuries.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would send Congress a report about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, in veterans. The report would include how many veterans have ALS, what resources they get, and plans to lower ALS rates and help veterans join clinical trials. The VA would also track ALS rates and send updates to Congress every three years.

The Veterans Earned Education Act would make it easier for more service members and veterans to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to their spouses or children. Currently, only "members of the uniformed services" meeting certain service lengths can do this. This bill would open up eligibility to more individuals, including those with 17 years of service or who retired due to disability.
