Lets some college students get housing help without it affecting their financial aid.

Certain college students could receive federal housing assistance under this bill. This housing help would not count as income for federal student aid, work-study pay, community service living allowances, or child support. This means more students could afford to live near campus without losing other important benefits.

What Would Change

Today, a federal law from 2006 stops some college students from getting housing assistance. After this bill, that ban would be removed, and the government could make it easier for eligible students to get housing help. This housing help would also not count against them when applying for student financial aid or other benefits.
