Bill > S1988

This bill, the Volunteer First Responder Housing Act, aims to expand eligibility for certain housing programs for qualified volunteer first responders. The key provisions are: 1. It defines a "qualified volunteer first responder" as an individual who is a bona fide volunteer performing qualified services for an eligible employer, has continuously served as a volunteer for at least 2 years, and is certified as a firefighter or other first responder. 2. It allows qualified volunteer first responders to be eligible for a $18,000 deduction in annual income under the Department of Agriculture's Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program. 3. It qualifies qualified volunteer first responders as firefighters or emergency medical technicians for the purposes of the Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program and similar single-family property disposition programs carried out by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which offer discounted home prices to these professions.
