Disabled veterans would get more housing help by not counting some benefits as income.
This bill would make it easier for disabled veterans to qualify for certain housing assistance programs. It would stop counting specific disability benefits as income when determining if a veteran is eligible for supported housing or other aid. This means more veterans could get the housing support they need.
Today, certain disability benefits received by veterans are generally counted as income when they apply for housing assistance programs. After this bill, these specific disability benefits would be excluded from income calculations for eligibility in the supported housing program, other related housing assistance, and new housing programs on Department property.
