Bill > HR6753

This bill aims to improve housing accessibility for college students by removing existing prohibitions and creating new provisions for housing assistance. Specifically, it eliminates a previous restriction on providing housing assistance to students and allows the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to waive certain requirements for student housing support. The bill defines an "eligible student" as someone enrolled in an institution of higher education, living in campus housing, and qualifying for tenant-based assistance. Importantly, any housing assistance received under this bill would not be counted as income when determining eligibility for other financial aid programs, such as federal student financial assistance, cooperative education income calculations, national service living allowances, or child support determinations. By making these changes, the legislation seeks to reduce financial barriers that may prevent students from accessing housing support and help students maintain their eligibility for other critical financial resources while receiving housing assistance.
