Support the CHIP IN Act
What is the CHIP IN for Veterans Act?
The Communities Helping Invest through Property and Improvements Needed for Veterans (CHIP IN) Act, introduced by Rep. Don Bacon and Senator Deb Fischer, makes permanent a pilot program that allows public-private partnerships to fund the construction and improvement of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities.

Why is This Bill Important?

  • Bi-Partisan, Bi-Cameral Support: The bill is backed by leaders in both the House and Senate, ensuring broad support for its passage.
  • Successful Pilot Program: The original CHIP IN pilot program demonstrated significant success, with the Omaha VA facility serving as a model for cost-effective, community-supported development.
  • Faster Project Completion: The public-private partnership model reduces bureaucratic delays, ensuring veterans receive quality healthcare services more quickly.
  • Efficient Use of Funds: By leveraging private contributions, VA facilities can be built and improved without relying solely on federal appropriations.
  • Expanding Veteran Healthcare: By making the program permanent, we can replicate the success of Omaha and expand access to modernized VA healthcare facilities across the country.

How Does It Work?

  • Authorizes the VA to accept private donations of land, buildings, and funds for facility construction and improvement.
  • Establishes partnerships between the VA and local communities to accelerate infrastructure development.
  • Ensures accountability and oversight to maintain quality and efficiency.

Call to Action:
Veterans deserve the best possible care, and modernized VA facilities are essential to delivering it. The CHIP IN for Veterans Act is a bi-partisan, bi-cameral effort to improve VA infrastructure through innovative public-private partnerships. Urge your representatives to support and pass this critical legislation today!
