Legislation introduced by Congressman Joe Heck, the “Vulnerable Veterans Housing Reform Act” passed the House as part of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act. Heck’s bill ends the flawed Department of Housing and Urban Development policy of counting the aid and attendance benefit for low-income, disabled veterans as regular income. Doing that unfairly reduces the housing assistance available to low-income disabled veterans. Heck says the last thing our veterans should have to worry about is whether they will have a roof over their head.
