DAV supports S. 1714, the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act. Please contact your elected officials and urge them to cosponsor and support this important legislation now: dav.la/s1714.
This bill would improve housing access for disabled veterans by ensuring that their service-connected disability compensation is not counted as income when determining eligibility for certain federal housing programs.
This means that veterans receiving disability payments from the VA would not be penalized or excluded from housing assistance programs they would otherwise qualify for based on their income. Additionally, this bill includes a reporting requirement for the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess how Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs treat disability compensation and suggest improvements.
Please contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor and support this important bill. #DAV #veterans #military #DAVCAN
