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.
