Housing for Homeless Students Act Introduced

Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) recently introduced the “Housing for Homeless Students Act” (H.R. 5290), which would allow full-time students who are or recently have been homeless to qualify for housing at tax credit sites. H.R. 5290 would exempt individuals from the student rule if they were homeless at any time in the previous seven years and met the definition of “homeless children and youth” under the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act.
