Hawaii SB1415 amends tenant selection criteria for low-income housing to prioritize disabled veterans and spouses of deceased veterans.

Hawaii SB1415 modifies tenant selection criteria for low-income housing projects to prioritize veterans with a permanent disability of ten percent or more, as certified by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and their dependent parents. The deceased veteran's spouse is given first preference. The bill also removes the ability to use the veteran status of an adult child as a basis for preference. Additionally, it prohibits selecting or retaining tenants who own or acquire a home within the state, subject to federal law or regulation.
