Summary

Homeless Veterans Assistance Act of 2001 - Expresses the sense of Congress urging Federal agencies to cooperate more fully to address the problem of homelessness among veterans. Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, through FY 2003, to make grants for establishing programs, and for expanding or modifying existing programs, to furnish the following services to homeless veterans: outreach, rehabilitation, vocational counseling and training, and transitional housing assistance. Directs the Secretary to provide to grant recipients per diem payments for such services (authorizes the Secretary to provide in-kind assistance in lieu thereof). Directs the Secretary of Labor to conduct programs of job training, counseling, and placement services to expedite the reintegration of homeless veterans into the labor force. Amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to direct the Secretary of Labor to set aside specified amounts for providing, through a supported housing program administered in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs, rental housing assistance to homeless veterans with chronic mental illness or substance abuse disorders. Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enter into contracts with community agencies to provide representative payee services for veterans unable to manage their own personal funds. Directs each Secretary to: (1) establish a joint methodology to monitor results of services furnished to homeless veterans; and (2) carry out a demonstration program to determine costs and benefits of providing referral and counseling services to certain veterans. Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out a demonstration program of grants for independent group homes for veterans recovering from alcohol or other substance abuse disorders.
