Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act of 2025
College Student Housing: Tax-Free Grants for Repairs
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While this bill has support from both parties, similar versions have been introduced for many years without becoming law. It is often seen as a lower priority than other tax changes.
Key Points
- This bill changes tax rules so charities can give money to help fix up student housing that is not owned by a college. This mostly applies to fraternity and sorority houses where full-time students live.
- Right now, it is hard for these groups to get tax-deductible donations for building repairs. This bill would let them use charitable grants for things like fire safety, new roofs, or general maintenance.
- The money cannot be used for everything. For example, the bill specifically says these grants cannot be used to build or improve gyms or fitness centers.
- To qualify for the money, almost everyone living in the building must be a full-time student at a nearby college or university.
- The goal is to make student-run housing safer and more affordable by allowing them to access the same kind of charitable support that university-owned dorms already receive.
