Housing for All Veterans Act of 2026

This bill, titled the "Housing for All Veterans Act of 2026," establishes a new Low-Income Veteran Rental Assistance Program by amending the United States Housing Act of 1937. The program provides an entitlement to rental assistance for qualified veteran families , with income eligibility gradually expanding from 50% of the extremely low-income limit in fiscal year 2027 to include all low-income veteran families by fiscal year 2031. A crucial provision ensures that disability benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs are not counted as income when determining a veteran family's eligibility. Public housing agencies (PHAs) are tasked with administering this assistance, ensuring prompt access for all qualified families and providing information on available veteran services. The bill includes a prohibition on discrimination by landlords of five or more units against prospective tenants holding vouchers from this program. To ensure sustained support, the program is permanently appropriated , authorizing "such sums as may be necessary" each fiscal year to cover rental assistance, administrative fees, and service fees for PHAs. This new assistance is designed to supplement, not supplant , existing rental assistance programs, including those for supported housing.
