Referred to the Subcommittee on Health.
Summary
The Never Fight Alone Act amends the Veterans Community Care Program so that veterans who cannot get prompt residential mental‑health or substance‑use treatment from the VA can receive those services from approved community providers. It sets licensing and accreditation standards for such providers, bans wait‑time rules that would block access, and requires the VA to report on how many requests are made, approved, or denied. The bill aims to reduce delays and improve care for veterans at risk of suicide or crisis.
