GSFowler-All- thanks , but pretty much still confused at this Thread on concurrent receipt of benefit’s as simply cannot find what is being actually discussed her in this bill.
For example- as
Ironpirate83 in
post number- 74, states: “What I'm tracking and that we need clarification on is that Trump signed this HR 5155 and that
s. a 2394 (concurrent pay less than 20 years) is apart of the
A 2282 which was approved in the HR 5155. haha so confusing, wish we could see the amendments and all the file.”
Being much less than perfect myself, I simply cannot find s. a 2394 nor 2282- please see below Sections from bill I attached, and if could clarify would be most appreciated?????

GSFowler- thanks for link, as I hope this assist’s “homeless” veterans, or those almost “destitute” as I tried with Gulf Cost Va system to no avail. In the past to actually get a very “destitute” veteran (at the time) “assistance” under the US DVA homeless Program simply to no avail- had better luck with in fact “other” enabling agencies than Gulf Coast VA System/VISNM-16. But below looks promising- if in fact “states” and other “enabling organizations” to better assist with the veterans “homeless” crises which in fact most likely contributes to “high” veteran” suicide rates- see Pebforum

Title V - Federal Surplus Property for Use to Assist the Homeless
Looking for Federal Surplus Property?
This page provides information to homeless service providers interested in learning more about the Federal Surplus Property (Title V) Program. It includes information about the Title V Program, how to obtain a Title V property (to view Title V property, click
Suitability Listing), and links to homeless assistance funding opportunities.
What is the Title V Program?
Title V of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Public Law 101-645 (
42 U.S.C. 11411), enables eligible organizations to use unutilized, underutilized, excess, or surplus federal properties to assist persons experiencing homelessness.
Eligible applicants are states, local governments, and nonprofit organizations. Properties, including land and buildings, are made available strictly on an "as-is" basis. No funding is available under Title V. Leases are provided free of charge and range from 1 to 20 years, depending on availability. Successful applicants may use the Title V properties to provide shelter, services, storage, and other benefits to persons experiencing homelessness.
Each Friday, HUD publishes a
Suitability Determination Listing on the HUD Exchange identifying available unutilized, underutilized, excess, and surplus properties.
SNAPS and Title V: An Overview
Through the Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS), HUD is responsible for:
- Canvassing landholding agencies quarterly to request information about properties that are unutilized, underutilized, excess, or surplus;
- Reviewing property for suitability; and
- Publishing in the Federal Register:
- Weekly suitability determinations;
- Annual Suitable Report of all suitable properties published in the prior calendar year.

All- thought I would follow up on the “
Choose VA” 2 xVideo’s (now) at:
https://www.choose.va.gov/ accessed 18 JUL 2018 0435 AM EDT (Video on Right mentions buying home US DVA Home Loan, Social Barbecues, etc…..??????) after seeing article “someone” sent me from the internet by Wired Magazine on 3D Printed Housing!
{ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES THIS WEB SITE????? }
So I did some further digging and found the below on 3D Printing utilization by the US DVA:
“New Mexico VA Health Care System- 3D Printing Network Includes Albuquerque VA” at web-address:
https://www.albuquerque.va.gov/features/3D_Printing_Network_Includes_Albuquerque_VA.asp see quote below from above listed US DVA web-site:
“The Veterans Affairs Center for Innovation (VACI) recently launched the first nationwide medical 3D printing network through a collaboration with Stratasys, one of the largest manufacturers of 3D printers globally.
As part of this effort, five 3D printers donated by Stratasys were installed in VA hospitals across the country: Albuquerque, Boston, Orlando, San Antonio and Seattle. This network will allow Veterans access to customized 3D printed anatomical models, assistive technology devices, orthotics, and other empowering tools.” (
What About Home’s????)
“New Mexico VA Health Care System- VA to Host 3D Printing Open House” at web-address:
https://www.albuquerque.va.gov/pressreleases/3DOpenHouseRel040717.asp see below quoted from afore mentioned US DVA web-site:
“The open house will be on April 14 from 1-5 p.m. in the SCI Conference Center (Room 1083, Bldg. 45). Experts will be on hand to demonstrate how a 3D printer works. Visitors also will see an assortment of 3D-printed items, including assistive technology devices, orthotics, anatomy models, biomedical device repair parts, research tools, and art sculptures and home décor items related to recreation therapy.”
So why does not the US DVA,
Veterans Affairs Center for Innovation (VACI), look into things like at YouTube video titled
“3D-Printed Home Can Be Constructed For Under $4,000” (at YouTube video wed-address:
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCzS2FZoB-I
accessed 18 JUL 2018 at appx. 0347 AM CST) to try and solve things like US Veteran Homelessness instead of “home décor items” , TV remotes, and art..?????
----See YouTube video from above

A 3-D printed home could apparently be quickly generated at almost same US Dollar cost as a FEMA Disaster Trailer Shelter- given folks no home in US after a
natural Disaster”?????
Furthermore, the US DVA could in fact “partner” with companies and or “charitable” housing organizations to generate a whole lot of Homeless veteran homes very quickly, once required land or property was purchased and get the “veterans” of the street rather rapidly!!!!!
Anyway- simply for “folks” much bigger than myself and those reading this to ponder- perhaps??? However, if others out there agree then
please write your elected officials as to why this technology is not being fully exploited by the US DVA to “
perhaps” solve “homelessness” and even “hunger” ….(see below)!!!!!
ALL-
thanks and hope this possibly helps someone…….

ALSO, ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES THIS WEB SITE?????
Additionally, 3D House Printing might also, if “fully-exploited” by US DVA and or others could possibly reduce the US Veteran daily “suicide rate” see PEB Forum “

Is the US DVA and or Congress/ HUD and or “other” enablers looking into this “technology” – 3D House Printing to in fact “abate” the veteran’s homeless crises?
One potential issue-conflict with this, obviously would be “special” interest from the Construction Industry and the US “lumber” industry which is huge in many “southern” states such as Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Georgia, as well as other states-entities, etc…….?????
I mean, if a total house can be built with 3D Printing for say around 10,000 (+/-) USD, is energy efficient, etc…. would that not in fact be a highly “viable” solution to not only veteran homeliness, but US “homelessness in general and “conserve” natural resources?????
Anyway- j
ust a thought…. I could as with not understanding the “concurrent” receipt in relation to this bill simply be totally wrong-------being mere “peon” I am…..?????
Thanks a per usual GSFowler- ALL…..
