Lawmakers from Iowa and Ohio have introduced legislation to the U.S. House of Representatives aimed at increasing housing access and affordability for college students.
Republican Rep Zach Nunn of Iowa and Democrat Greg Landsman of Ohio brought forward the “Campus Housing Affordability Act” Tuesday, Nunn announced in a press release. If passed, the legislation would amend current law to allow certain students enrolled in higher education to apply federal housing assistance to their university dwellings.
In a release, Nunn said, “College should be about learning and earning a degree, not worrying about where you’re going to sleep at night. Housing insecurity undermines academic success, increases the risk of dropping out, and puts a higher education out of reach for too many students. This bipartisan bill gives every student a fair shot at success—regardless of their background or ZIP code.”
