New Rental Assistance Program for Low-Income Veteran Families.
This Act establishes a permanent rental assistance program specifically for low-income veteran families, granting them an entitlement to housing aid. The goal is to ensure stable housing for veterans by providing necessary funds for rent. A significant change is that VA disability benefits will not be counted as income when determining eligibility for this assistance.
Key points
Qualified veterans and their families are entitled to receive rental assistance, with eligibility criteria gradually expanding until 2029.
VA disability benefits are excluded from income calculations, making it easier for disabled veterans to qualify for housing aid.
Landlords owning five or more units cannot discriminate against prospective tenants solely because they use this specific veteran housing voucher.
The program is permanently funded to cover all eligible veteran families who apply for assistance.
