The Senate Committee advanced bipartisan legislation ensuring disabled veterans maintain housing support eligibility despite receiving disability payments.
Quiver AI Summary
The Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs has advanced the bipartisan Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act, co-led by Senators Padilla, McCormick, Gallego, and Britt. This legislation aims to ensure that disabled veterans experiencing homelessness and receiving disability payments can access critical housing support without being disenfranchised by income limitations.
The HUD-VASH program, a vital resource for homeless veterans, had previously excluded many of those with severe disabilities from eligibility due to disability payments being counted as income. The bill seeks to permanently exempt these payments from income calculations, thereby increasing access to housing assistance for veterans in need. Advocates express that this change will help address veteran homelessness and provide the support deserved from the country.
Senator Padilla emphasized that "Veterans who have sacrificed so much... deserve a roof over their heads," while Senator McCormick noted the importance of correcting the eligibility criteria to assist veterans reintegrating into civilian life. The bill will now proceed to the Senate for further consideration.
