The Campus Housing Affordability Act of 2024 removes a federal prohibition that prevented college students from receiving housing assistance under the Section 8 housing voucher program. The bill specifically allows students who are currently or formerly in foster care, or who have been legally emancipated by a court, to receive federal rental assistance for on-campus housing at accredited colleges and universities. To protect these vulnerable students' access to other support, housing assistance received under this program cannot be counted as income when determining eligibility for federal student financial aid, work-study programs, national service allowances, or child support obligations. The bill was introduced in July 2024 and contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, effectively amending existing housing law to expand eligibility rather than creating a new funded program.
