Creates new housing help for graduate students with lower incomes.
A new bill would create a federal program to help graduate students pay for housing. It would offer vouchers covering 80 percent of rent for those enrolled in grad programs who meet specific income limits. This means eligible students could get significant help with their monthly housing costs.
Today, there is no specific federal program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development that provides housing assistance vouchers specifically for graduate students. If this bill becomes law, HUD would be required to create a program within one year to offer vouchers covering 80 percent of fair market rental costs for eligible graduate students who meet specific income requirements.
