House Bill 452 amends the Education Code to require each institution of higher education to assist an eligible postsecondary student who has been under the conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services, on the student's request, in locating temporary housing between academic terms. The bill sets out the conditions for eligibility and authorizes an institution, for each eligible student who also demonstrates financial need, to provide a stipend to cover reasonable costs of the temporary housing that are not covered by other financial aid immediately available to the student or to provide temporary housing directly to the student.
