Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act
This bill amends the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 to exclude certain veterans' disability benefits from income calculations for housing assistance. Specifically, it excludes disability benefits received under Chapter 11 or 15 of Title 38 (veterans' benefits) when determining eligibility for the Section 8 supported housing program and other housing assistance. It directly affects disabled veterans receiving these specific benefits by making them less likely to be disqualified from housing programs due to their disability income. The change applies to income eligibility determinations under HUD-administered housing assistance programs, not to the definition of adjusted income itself.
