Bill > H3129

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law, specifically Section 32 of Chapter 121B, to establish a preference for veterans when applying for assisted housing, which refers to housing that receives government subsidies or assistance. The key provision states that veterans will be given priority over applicants who are not eligible for federal assisted housing under a specific U.S. code section (42 U.S.C. section 1436a), but this preference will not override or take priority over any applicant who *is* eligible for such federal assistance. This aims to provide an advantage to veterans in securing housing that is supported by public funds.
