Summary
Comprehensive Service Programs for Homeless Veterans Act of 1992 - Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish and operate, through September 30, 1995, a pilot program to expand and improve the benefits and services to homeless veterans. Includes within such program: (1) the establishment of up to four additional demonstration programs to be centers for such veterans; and (2) the placement of veterans benefits counselors at a specified number of sites at which the Secretary furnishes services to homeless mentally ill veterans and domiciliary care to homeless veterans and at centers which provide readjustment counseling. Requires the Secretary to make grants to assist eligible entities in establishing new programs to furnish outreach, rehabilitative services, vocational counseling and training, and transitional housing assistance to homeless veterans. Sets forth grant award and application criteria. Prohibits grants from being used to support operational costs of a grantee, except as provided by this Act. Prohibits the making of a grant unless the applicant agrees to: (1) provide services for which the grant is furnished at locations accessible to homeless veterans; (2) maintain referral networks for, and aid such veterans in, establishing eligibility for assistance and obtaining services under available entitlement and assistance programs; (3) ensure the confidentiality of records maintained on homeless veterans receiving services under the grant; (4) establish procedures for accounting with respect to the grant; and (5) with respect to service centers, meet specified requirements concerning service hours, space for Federal agencies and other organizations, and necessary services. Requires the Secretary to provide per diem payments to a grant recipient for services furnished to any homeless veteran: (1) whom the Secretary has referred to the recipient; or (2) for whom the Secretary, within three working days, has authorized the provision of services. Authorizes the Secretary, in lieu of per diem payments, to provide a recipient with in-kind assistance. Permits the Secretary to inspect the facilities of any entity eligible for payments. Directs the Secretary to require the director of each medical center and regional benefits office of the Department of Veterans Affairs to: (1) assess the needs of homeless veterans living within the area served by the center or regional office; and (2) catalogue programs of the Department, agencies of the Federal, State, and local governments, and nongovernmental organizations which provide services to homeless persons in such area. Requires the Secretary to compile assessment information for use in program planning and to carry out laws relating to assistance to homeless veterans. Directs the Secretary to assign employees of the Veterans Benefits Administration to conduct outreach programs and services for homeless veterans. Amends the Veterans' Benefits and Services Act of 1988 to extend community-based residential care for homeless chronically mentally ill veterans through September 30, 1995.
