Republicans move to use $2 billion from USAID for veteran housing

[noumoe]

Two Senate Republicans are looking to use funding allocated for the embattled U.S. Agency for International Development to instead pay for repairing housing for veterans as the Trump administration works to shutter the agency.

Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and Mike Lee (R-UT) are introducing the Veterans First Act of 2025 in the Senate on Thursday. The bill, exclusively obtained by the Washington Examiner, seeks to repurpose $2 billion from the agency’s appropriated funds to the Department of Veterans Affairs to instead purchase, build, or repair state veterans homes.
