Bill 119 hr 965, also known as the "Housing Assistance Income Exclusion Act," aims to amend a specific section of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The proposed amendment would exclude certain disability benefits from being counted as income when determining eligibility for the supported housing program under section 8(o)(19).
The bill seeks to provide relief to individuals with disabilities who rely on disability benefits as a source of income. By excluding these benefits from the calculation of income, more individuals may qualify for the supported housing program, which provides crucial assistance to those in need of affordable housing.
In addition to excluding disability benefits from income calculations, the bill also addresses other purposes related to the supported housing program. This could include streamlining the application process, improving access to housing resources, or enhancing the overall effectiveness of the program.
Overall, Bill 119 hr 965 aims to make it easier for individuals with disabilities to access the supported housing program by excluding certain disability benefits from income calculations. This could potentially help more individuals secure affordable housing and improve their quality of life.
