Home for the Brave Act of 2025
This bill changes HUD housing rules to exclude veterans' disability and dependency benefits from being counted as income. It directly affects veterans receiving disability compensation (under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 11) or dependency compensation (under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 13) who apply for HUD housing assistance. The key provision ensures these benefits are not considered when determining eligibility, benefit amounts, or rent calculations under HUD housing programs. This is a concrete policy adjustment to simplify access to housing support for veterans.
