This bill requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish a new housing assistance program for graduate and professional students within one year of enactment. The program would provide tenant-based assistance vouchers covering 80 percent of fair market rental costs for eligible graduate students. To qualify, students must be enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program and meet income limits based on their dependency status: dependent students with one parent can earn up to $40,000 annually, those with two parents up to $80,000, and independent students follow similar thresholds. The Secretary is authorized to adjust these income limits to account for cost of living changes over time. The legislation does not specify total funding amounts for the program.
