This legislation would ensure that veterans\u2019 disability and pension payments don\u2019t count as income when determining eligibility for affordable housing programs, removing a significant barrier to safe and affordable housing.\n\n\u201cOur veterans have given so much for this country, and it\u2019s our responsibility to make sure they aren\u2019t left behind when it comes to affordable housing,\u201d said Congressman Horsford. \u201cThis bill is about fairness and making sure that those who served aren\u2019t penalized for the benefits they earned. I\u2019m proud to stand with my colleagues to ensure that our disabled veterans have the support they need to thrive.\u201d\n\nThe Fair Housing for Disabled Veterans Act removes an issue in current housing programs that disqualifies many disabled veterans from affordable housing because their service-related benefits push them over income limits. This bill would ensure disabled veterans can access these programs without sacrificing the stability those benefits are intended to provide. By removing the barrier, the legislation would take a step forward to combat veteran homelessness and support veterans as they transition to civilian life.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/horsford-cosponsors-the-fair-housing-for-disabled-veterans-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8077756501734257, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
