The Housing for All Veterans Act establishes a new rental assistance program specifically for low-income veteran families, administered through public housing agencies in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Qualified veteran families—defined initially as those earning up to 50 percent of the extremely low-income threshold in 2026, gradually expanding to include all low-income veterans by 2030—become entitled to rental assistance vouchers, with protections ensuring landlords cannot discriminate against voucher holders. The program includes service fees capped at $4,000 per household to help agencies assist veterans in securing rental units, and excludes veterans' disability benefits from income calculations to maintain eligibility. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, the bill provides permanent, open-ended federal funding to cover all costs of rental assistance for eligible veteran families, ensuring this is an entitlement program separate from and supplementing existing housing voucher programs.
