This legislation, known as the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act, amends the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to specifically exclude service-connected disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs when determining income eligibility for low, moderate, or low-and-moderate income housing assistance. This critical change ensures that veterans' disability benefits do not negatively impact their access to essential housing support programs administered by states, local governments, and Indian tribes. Additionally, the bill requires the Comptroller General to submit a report to Congress within one year. This report will examine how service-connected disability compensation is treated across all programs under the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, identifying any inconsistencies with the new exclusion. It will also provide legislative recommendations to improve how these programs serve veteran populations and underserved communities.
