Bipartisan legislation recently introduced by Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Al Franken, D-Minn., would amend a law that prevents some college students from qualifying for affordable housing. The Housing for Homeless Students Act of 2014 would allow full-time students who experience or have recently experienced homelessness to become eligible—or retain eligibility—for LIHTC housing.
The proposed law would tweak a provision of the LIHTC program that makes full-time college students ineligible for affordable housing units that were developed under the program.
