Bill overview
This bill, the Volunteer First Responder Housing Act, aims to increase access to housing assistance programs for individuals who serve as bona fide volunteers with eligible fire departments and other first responder organizations. It expands eligibility for certain housing programs, specifically the Department of Agriculture’s Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program and the Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program, by allowing qualified volunteers to deduct a portion of their income and qualify for discounted home prices. The bill requires verification of volunteer service and certification as a first responder.
