CBO has released its cost estimate for S. 3119, the Fisher House Availability Act of 2026, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs on March 18, 2026. The legislation would expand the Fisher House program managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, providing additional temporary lodging for families of veterans and military personnel undergoing medical treatment at VA facilities.

The CBO estimates the bill would cost $8 million in discretionary spending from 2026 through 2031, with no impact on direct spending, revenues, or on-budget deficits. This estimate will inform Congressional consideration of the legislation but does not create any compliance obligations for private entities. No public comment period applies to this document.
