Bill Intelligence
This bill seeks to amend the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 by excluding service-connected disability compensation received by veterans from the Department of Veterans Affairs when determining their eligibility for low and moderate-income housing assistance. Additionally, the bill requires the Comptroller General to submit a report to Congress, within a year of the bill's enactment, examining how service-connected disability compensation is treated in all programs administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and providing legislative recommendations for better serving veteran populations and under-served communities.
