Relating to measures to assist students enrolled at public institutions of higher education who are homeless or who are or were in foster care.
SB 2281 requires Texas public colleges and universities to designate a liaison officer to support students who are homeless or were in foster care. The liaison must help these students access resources like housing, financial aid, and counseling, and assist with transitions from high school to college. The bill also creates a temporary housing option between academic terms for eligible students. It defines "homeless students" to include those without housing during breaks, even if living in campus housing during terms.
