Summary
This bill appropriates $500K to The Independence Fund, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of veterans and their families, in nonrecurring funds for the 2021-2022 fiscal year to establish a pilot program to expand the Veterans Justice Intervention program.
The program must, in part, educate first responders, local community support employees, and others on veteran-specific crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and available VA resources.
