AN ACT PROVIDING HOUSING FOR CERTAIN IMPOVERISHED VETERANS.

HB 5410 creates a state program to provide free prefabricated housing to eligible veterans who are impoverished and homeless. It directly affects veterans meeting two criteria: income below the federal poverty line and having been without permanent housing for at least 90 days prior to application. The program will offer 500-square-foot structures with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and bathroom on VA property in Rocky Hill, administered jointly by Housing and Veterans Affairs Commissioners. Applications must be processed within 10 days, with approvals valid for one year and annual reporting required to the legislature starting in 2028.
