determining whether a person is a person of low and moderate income, a 
  person of low income, or a person of moderate income, and for other

SEC. 2. SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITY COMPENSATION.

    Section 102(a)(20) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
1974 (42 U.S.C. 5302(a)(20)) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
            ``(C) Service-connected disability compensation.--When 
        determining whether a person is a person of low and moderate 
        income, a person of low income, or a person of moderate income 
        under this paragraph, a State, unit of general local

SEC. 3. REPORT.

    Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to Congress a 
report that--
            (1) examines how service-connected disability compensation 
        is treated for the purposes of determining eligibility for all 
        programs administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
        Development;
            (2) identifies any instances where service-connected 
        disability compensation is treated in a manner inconsistent 
        with the amendment made by section 2; and
            (3) with respect to each program administered by the 
        Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in which service-
        connected disability compensation is treated inconsistently 
        with the amendment made by section 2, provides legislative 
        recommendations relating to how that program could better serve 
        veteran populations and underserved communities.
