This bill seeks to authorize the tribal HUD-VASH program, and institute programmatic reforms that will fix the technical issues identified for the Committee by tribes, and the Department. In order to guarantee program success, continuous Committee oversight, in addition to the already existing agency safeguards, will be necessary to ensure that Native homeless veterans receive these crucial housing and healthcare services. The Committee will need the most recent and relevant data, as collected by the Department, to fulfill its oversight function. Legislation, like S. 1333, that requires Executive branch agencies to collect and use data in the administration of department programs, can help provide insight for the Committee as it conducts oversight. The Committee intends to conduct an oversight hearing within five years after the enactment of S. 1333 to determine if the reforms outlined in this bill have addressed these technical problems that have been identified. At the Committee's 5 year oversight hearing on the tribal HUD-VASH program, the Department's report, as required by S. 1333, must also include statistical data showing the number of Indian veterans who applied for and were granted Tribal HUD-VASH grant money compared to the general veteran population who applied for and were granted HUD-VASH grant money.
