What does LOW-INCOME VETERAN RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. of Housing for All Veterans Act of 2026 do?

This section amends Section 8(o) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 to establish a Low-Income Veteran Rental Assistance Program. The program defines 'qualified veteran family' based on income limitations that change annually from fiscal year 2027 through 2031. Initially, in fiscal year 2027, a qualified veteran family's income cannot exceed 50% of the applicable income limitation for extremely low-income families. Public housing agencies must ensure veterans desiring assistance have the opportunity to apply and that assistance is provided promptly. The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, will provide public housing agencies with information regarding veteran services. Owners of rental units may not discriminate against voucher holders, and state laws providing greater protection are not preempted. The Secretary will establish an electronic process to verify veteran status. Veteran disability benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs are excluded from income calculations for determining eligibility. The Secretary can designate public housing agencies to administer the program in areas lacking existing agencies. Veterans already receiving rental assistance are not subject to eligibility redeterminations due to the enactment of this program. Funds appropriated for this program cannot be used for the Moving to Work demonstration program. Amounts appropriated for this program are intended to supplement, not supplant, existing rental assistance programs.
