Fair Housing for Disabeled Veterans Act

Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Sánchez, Linda T. [D-CA-38]

Introduced

Summary

Excludes VA disability compensation and pensions from income tests used for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and qualified residential rental bonds. This bill would let those VA payments be ignored when programs check household income, which could increase housing access for veterans who receive them.

Show full summary
  • Veterans: Veterans who get disability pay or VA pensions would have those payments excluded from income counts. That could let some veterans qualify for income-restricted rental units who otherwise would not.
  • Residents and families: Some households that include a veteran could qualify for lower-income units or subsidies because counted income would be lower.
  • Developers and bond-financed projects: Owners of LIHTC or tax-exempt rental bond properties would be able to rent to more veteran households while still meeting program income rules.

Analyzed Economic Effects

Veterans disability pay ignored for housing

This bill would change how income is counted for some affordable rental homes. VA disability compensation or VA pension payments would not count as income. This would apply to low income housing tax credit homes and to qualified bond-financed rental apartments. If you get those VA payments, it could help you qualify or lower your rent share. It would apply to income checks made after the bill becomes law.
