Fisher House Availability Act of 2025
This bill expands eligibility for temporary lodging at a Fisher House to additional individuals receiving medical care or treatment at a Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) or non-VA facility or those accompanying individuals receiving such treatment.

Specifically, the bill authorizes the VA to provide lodging at a Fisher House on a space-available basis to
• members of the Armed Forces, regardless of duty status, or any individual on active duty (i.e., eligible individuals) who must travel a significant distance to receive care or services;
• family members and others accompanying such eligible individuals to receive care or services;
• veterans, members of a veteran's family, and others who must travel a significant distance for a member of a veteran's family to receive care or services; and
