Bill > HR224

This bill, titled the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act, amends the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to ensure that service-connected disability compensation received by veterans from the Department of Veterans Affairs is not counted when determining if they qualify as individuals of low and moderate income, low income, or moderate income for housing assistance programs. This change aims to make it easier for disabled veterans to access housing support by excluding this specific form of compensation from income calculations. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Comptroller General of the United States will report to Congress within one year of enactment, examining how this type of compensation is currently treated in all housing programs administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, identifying any inconsistencies, and offering recommendations for legislative improvements to better serve veteran populations.
