Establishes a fund for the creation of affordable housing
This bill creates a voluntary fund for affordable housing targeted at veterans and seniors. It allows taxpayers to make extra, non-tax-reducing contributions to the "Affordable Housing for Veterans and Seniors Fund" when filing their state income taxes. The fund, managed jointly by tax and veterans' agencies, will use all collected contributions exclusively for housing projects serving these groups. Annual reports will detail how funds were spent, including recipient names, amounts awarded, and project purposes.
