Bill > HR5936

This bill, known as the Home for the Brave Act of 2025, aims to modify how the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) calculates income for housing assistance programs by excluding certain veterans' disability benefits from income calculations. Specifically, the bill would prevent HUD from considering disability compensation or dependency and indemnity compensation received by veterans or their family members as income when determining three key aspects of housing assistance: (1) a family's eligibility for housing assistance programs, (2) the amount of benefits a family can receive, and (3) the amount of rent a family will pay for housing units supported by HUD programs. By excluding these disability benefits from income calculations, the bill seeks to provide additional financial support and housing opportunities for veterans and their families, recognizing the unique challenges faced by those who have served in the military and may have service-related disabilities.
