This bill directs the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a comprehensive study within one year to identify options for removing barriers and improving housing for elderly and disabled persons. The study will specifically examine the potential impacts of providing capital advances for supportive housing programs. These programs include those for the elderly under section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and for persons with disabilities under section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act. The findings will inform strategies to enhance housing accessibility and suitability for these vulnerable populations.
