Summary
This bill expands eligibility for federal housing programs to qualified volunteer first responders. It allows volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians who have served continuously for at least two years to receive a $18,000 deduction in annual income when applying for USDA single-family housing loans, and to qualify for discounted home purchases under HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door program. Eligibility requires state or tribal certification as a first responder and submission of a verification letter from the volunteer's employer.
