I want to thank the Rules Committee for ruling my amendment in order and for providing this opportunity to assist low- income seniors and our Nation's veterans with obtaining safe and quality housing. This amendment is a narrowly tailored, pro-veteran amendment which allows the VA to maintain its requirement of a veteran's preference on HUD-financed housing on VA campuses. Unfortunately, HUD has rules that don't allow for a veteran's preference for people who live in facilities built with HUD funds, even if they are built on VA property. My amendment simply says that no funds in this bill could go toward enforcing these rules against a facility that is built on a VA campus or is utilizing a VA-enhanced use lease.
