Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act
This bill amends housing law to ensure disabled veterans' service-connected disability compensation from the VA is excluded when calculating income for housing assistance programs. It directly affects disabled veterans receiving VA disability payments, making them more likely to qualify for low-income housing programs that previously counted their VA benefits as income. The bill requires the Comptroller General to report within one year on how VA benefits are treated across HUD programs and to recommend changes for better veteran support. This creates a concrete policy change in income eligibility rules, with no immediate financial impact on programs beyond the new exclusion.
