Summary

Remembering the Life of Kyle Poteat Act This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to award grants for a period of three years to eligible entities for the provision of post-traumatic stress disorder prevention services to veterans. Under the bill, eligible entities include tribally designated housing entities, community-based organizations, and other private entities that meet certain requirements.

Additionally, the VA shall give preference to entities that are experienced in providing post-traumatic stress disorder prevention services.
