AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a rental assistance program under the federal Section 8 housing voucher system for low-income veteran families, and would make that assistance an entitlement for all families who qualify. Eligibility would start with the lowest-income veteran families in fiscal year 2027 and expand each year until it covers low-income veteran families in fiscal year 2031 and after. Veterans Affairs disability benefits would not count as income when deciding eligibility, and veterans with dishonorable discharges would not qualify. Landlords with 5 or more rental units could not refuse to rent to someone because they hold one of these vouchers. The bill would provide permanent funding of whatever amount is needed, separate from existing voucher programs, and would allow housing agencies to receive service fees of up to $4,000 per eligible household, adjusted for inflation.
