For legislation relative to public housing determination for veterans. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 32 of Chapter 121B of the Massachusetts General Laws to exclude benefits received by veterans and/or their spouses under Chapter 115 from being considered for the purpose of determining rent for public housing. This ensures that veterans' military benefits do not affect their eligibility or rent calculation for public housing, which helps make housing more accessible for veterans.
