Grad Student Affordable Housing Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to set up a rental voucher program for graduate students within one year of becoming law. Students enrolled in a graduate or professional program at a college or university could apply to HUD. Selected students would receive a voucher covering 80 percent of the fair market rent for the housing unit they choose. To qualify, a single independent student's income, or a dependent student's single parent's income, could be no more than $40,000 a year; for married independent students, or a dependent student with two parents, the limit would be $80,000. HUD could adjust these income limits for changes in the cost of living.
