    Abstract: VA is mandated to establish a program for providing 
temporary lodging under section 221(a) of the Veterans Benefits and 
Health Care Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-419). These statutory provisions 
have been codified at 38 U.S.C. 1708 and are administered by the 
Veterans Health Administration (VHA) of VA. This program provides 
temporary lodging by veterans receiving VA medical care or C&P

veterans to provide the equivalent of familial support. If the veteran 
is undergoing extensive treatment or procedures, such as an organ 
transplant or chemotherapy, eligible persons may be furnished temporary 
lodging for the duration of the episode of care. Data is collected 
during the application process to determine eligibility for temporary 
lodging.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
