Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act

The bill exempts veteran disability benefits from being included as income when determining eligibility for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) housing and CDBG-funded programs.

Currently, HUD's income guidelines include disability compensation received by veterans as part of the calculation to determine eligibility for federal housing and other assistance funded through the CDBG program, a practice that has disproportionately impacted those who rely on disability benefits as their primary source of income, often making it more difficult for them to access affordable housing and further contributing to veteran homelessness.

The bill also requires the Trump Administration to examine how service-connected disability compensation is treated across all programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and issue a report to Congress identifying any instances of inconsistency in the treatment of service-connected disability compensation and provide recommendations on how to better serve veteran populations and underserved communities within HUD programs.
