Lets foster youth and emancipated students get housing aid for on-campus living.
This bill would let college students who are current or former foster youth, or who are emancipated minors, get housing assistance for their on-campus living. It would also make sure this aid doesn't count against them when applying for other financial help. This changes current rules that generally block students from receiving housing assistance.
Today, federal law generally stops students from getting housing assistance. If this bill becomes law, that general ban would be removed. Also, current or former foster youth and emancipated minors in college dorms could get housing assistance, and that aid would not reduce their eligibility for other financial help.
