CA SR121

Designates November as Veteran Housing Insecurity Awareness Month in California

Approximately one-third of all homeless veterans in the United States live in California, with veterans representing 7 percent of the homeless adult population compared to 5 percent of California's overall adult population

More than 320,000 California veterans live in homes with major issues related to quality, crowding, or cost, with housing cost being the greatest burden

Highlights that disabled veterans receiving nearly $43,500 annually in disability income may exceed income limits (approximately $44,000) for federal housing vouchers, creating barriers to housing assistance

Notes inconsistent disability income exclusions across California localities for housing eligibility, leaving some disabled veterans ineligible for federally funded housing based solely on disability benefits
