Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act 2026-01-20 Public Law Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act

This act excludes compensation received for a military service-connected disability from a veteran's income when determining eligibility for assistance under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

This includes identifying instances where the treatment of such compensation is inconsistent with the requirement under this act.
