The veterans emergency fund allows for veterans to receive up to $2,500 a year for things in an emergency situation, to help maintain safety and shelter. The issue we have with the veterans emergency fund is that it's not consistently administered across the country. The case managers administer it themselves.
If there are 400 case managers, they each interpret the policy differently. We have some case managers who will tell a veteran that they don't qualify. Then the next case manager will approve it for the exact same thing for another veteran. There's a real lack of consistency there.
