The United States Department of Veterans Affairs is a government-run military veteran benefit system. Its primary function is to support veterans in their time after service by providing benefits and support. The VA works with the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness to address these issues. It was established in 1930 and is headed by the secretary of veterans’ affairs, appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
