Summary
This bill excludes military service-connected disability compensation from income calculations when determining veteran eligibility for Community Development Block Grant program assistance. CDBG provides grants to urban communities for neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and community improvements. By not counting disability payments as income, more disabled veterans would qualify for housing and community development assistance. GAO must report on how disability compensation is treated across all HUD programs.
