Expands veterans' eligibility for public housing to include recent conflict veterans and prioritizes housing for those with service-connected.

This bill amends the public housing law to expand eligibility for veterans seeking public housing. It includes veterans who served between November 1, 1955, to May 7, 1975, and from September 14, 2001, to December 31, 2024. Additionally, it mandates that housing authorities grant a preference to veterans or their families with service-connected disabilities, provided they meet other occupancy qualifications and comply with federal regulations. The changes will take effect 100 days after the bill becomes law.
