The Housing for All Veterans Act establishes a new rental assistance program specifically designed to help low-income veteran families afford housing. The program gradually expands eligibility over time, starting in 2025 by serving veterans with extremely low incomes (50 percent of the area's extremely low-income limit) and broadening by 2029 to cover all low-income veteran families, including single veterans and families where the head of household is a veteran. The legislation prohibits landlords with five or more rental units from refusing to rent to voucher holders based on their veteran status and requires public housing agencies to provide information about veteran services to participating families. The bill authorizes permanent, indefinite appropriations from the federal treasury to ensure all eligible veteran families can receive assistance, with public housing agencies receiving service fees up to $4,000 per household to help veterans secure housing, and explicitly states this funding supplements rather than replaces existing rental assistance programs.
