Summary
The Volunteer First Responder Housing Act lets qualified volunteer first responders claim an $18,000 income deduction on USDA single‑family loan programs and qualify for discounted home prices under HUD’s Good Neighbor Next Door program. To receive the benefits, volunteers must submit a verification letter from their employer and proof of certification. The measure aims to make homeownership more affordable for those who serve their communities without pay.
