Rental Housing: Information on Low-Income Veterans' Housing Conditions and Participation in HUD's Programs
Veterans returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan could
increase demand for affordable rental housing. Households with
low incomes (80 percent or less of the area median income)
generally are eligible to receive rental assistance from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) housing
choice voucher, public housing, and project-based programs.
However, because rental assistance is not an entitlement, not all
who are eligible receive assistance. This testimony, based on a
2007 report, discusses (1) the income status and demographic and
housing characteristics of veteran renter households, (2) how
HUD's rental assistance programs treat veteran status (whether a
person is a veteran or not) and whether they use a veteran's
preference, and (3) the extent to which HUD's rental assistance
programs served veterans in fiscal year 2005. The 2007 report
discussed in this testimony made no recommendations.
