Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is backing a bipartisan bill to help disabled veterans get the support they need.
Sen. Ossoff recently cosponsored the Service Dogs Assisting Veterans Act of 2025 to help connect veterans with service dogs who help veterans facing service-related disabilities.
The bipartisan bill, first introduced by Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), would create a grant program to help non-profit organizations provide veterans with service dogs to assist with service-related disabilities. The grants, administered by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), would go toward the cost of training and placing service dogs for eligible veterans.
“Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our nation,” Sen. Ossoff said. “This bipartisan legislation will help ensure disabled Georgia veterans get the care and support they need.”
Sen. Ossoff continues working to support Georgia’s servicemembers, veterans, and military families.
Last month, Sen. Ossoff cosponsored the bipartisan Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act (HUDVA), first introduced by Sens. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Dave McCormick (R-PA), to ensure that veterans can more fairly access affordable housing options.
In December, Sen. Ossoff cosponsored the bipartisan Helping Heroes Act to expand supportive services for families of disabled veterans, including children taking on caregiving roles for their parents.
Also in 2025, Sens. Ossoff and John Kennedy (R-LA) introduced the Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act to help disabled veterans’ small businesses thrive.
