Bill > HR224

This bill, known as the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act, aims to modify how service-connected disability compensation is considered when determining a veteran's income level for housing assistance programs. Specifically, the bill amends the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to require that service-connected disability compensation be excluded when state, local government, or Indian tribal entities calculate whether a person qualifies as low and moderate income. This means that the disability compensation veterans receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs will not be counted as income when assessing their eligibility for housing support programs. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Comptroller General submit a report to Congress within one year of enactment, which will examine how service-connected disability compensation is treated across housing programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, identify any inconsistencies in its treatment, and provide recommendations for improving program accessibility for veterans and underserved communities.
