Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act

This bill would change how income is counted for housing programs. It says that when states, local governments, and tribes decide if someone is “low” or “moderate” income, they must not count a veteran’s service-connected disability pay from the VA. This could help more disabled veterans qualify for housing help and community development programs by keeping their disability benefits from pushing them over income limits .

It also orders a federal review within one year to check all HUD programs, find any places that still count this disability pay, and suggest fixes so programs better serve veterans and underserved communities .

• Who is affected: Veterans receiving service-connected disability compensation, plus state, local, and tribal housing agencies .
• What changes: VA disability pay will be excluded when deciding if someone meets low- or moderate-income definitions for these programs .
• When: The change takes effect upon enactment; a report is due within one year after that .
