HR 6336 United States House · 118th Congress

Protect Veteran Students, Job Seekers, and Entrepreneurs Housing Act

This bill ensures veterans, active-duty service members, and their families receiving VA educational benefits (like the GI Bill) can access housing without unfair barriers. Landlords must count these benefits as income when evaluating rental applications and cannot offer leases longer than the benefit's duration. It also creates a 60-day grace period if a veteran temporarily fails a single requirement (like missing a class) to maintain their education benefits. The law applies to federally assisted housing programs, including public housing and Section 8 vouchers. It directly affects veterans using VA education benefits who face housing discrimination or eligibility issues.
