Lets more veterans qualify for affordable housing by not counting disability pay as income.
This bill, called the "Fair Housing for Disabled Veterans Act," would make it easier for veterans receiving disability or pension payments to qualify for affordable housing. It would stop counting their disability pay as income when determining eligibility for certain low-income housing programs. This change would help more veterans access housing supported by tax credits or special bonds.
Today, veteran disability or pension payments are counted as income when determining eligibility for low-income housing tax credits and residential rental project bonds. If this bill becomes law, these specific payments would no longer be counted as income for these housing programs. This change would make it easier for many veterans to qualify for affordable housing.
