Campus Housing Affordability Act

This bill would remove a federal rule in a 2006 appropriations law that restricts Section 8 housing assistance for certain college students. It would allow the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to waive Section 8 voucher program requirements so that eligible students can receive tenant-based housing assistance. An eligible student is someone enrolled at a college or university, living in student housing run by that school, and otherwise eligible for tenant-based assistance. Housing assistance received this way would not count as income when deciding eligibility for federal or school financial aid, AmeriCorps-type living allowances, work-study style income, or child support amounts.
