Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act

United States119th CongressS-1714Senate
Updated: May 12, 2025

Summary

This bill aims to enhance housing assistance eligibility for veterans by amending the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. It mandates that service-connected disability compensation received from the Department of Veterans Affairs must be excluded when determining if an individual qualifies as a person of low, moderate, or low-to-moderate income for housing programs. This exclusion applies to determinations made by States, units of general local government, and Indian tribes, ensuring these vital benefits do not hinder access to housing support. Additionally, the bill requires the Comptroller General to submit a report to Congress within one year of enactment. This report will examine how service-connected disability compensation is treated across all programs administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, identify any inconsistencies with the new exclusion rule, and provide legislative recommendations to better serve veteran populations and underserved communities.
