HB 2426 establishes a workgroup to assess the feasibility of using surplus government property to provide housing for homeless veterans. The bill directs the Texas Coordinating Council for Veterans Services to oversee this assessment, which will be conducted by a workgroup composed of representatives from the Texas Veterans Commission, the General Land Office, the Veterans’ Land Board, and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The workgroup may also include representatives from other state agencies by majority vote. The assessment will focus on identifying available surplus federal, state, or local government properties, including unused buildings and land, to determine whether they can be developed into housing units for homeless veterans. The workgroup is also tasked with identifying funding sources, such as federal historic tax credits, housing tax credits, corporate and private donations, and potential rent payments from tenants. Additionally, it will analyze which veteran subpopulations would most benefit from such a program and may consult with local housing authorities, affordable housing developers, and organizations specializing in veterans' housing needs. The workgroup must submit a written report with findings and recommendations to the Texas Legislature by November 1, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning it will expire on September 1, 2027.
