SB 685: Special education: nonpublic schools and agencies.

This bill establishes a pilot program to provide financial assistance to homeless students attending California State University campuses. The program will help students who were homeless during high school and are between 17 and 26 years old. Students must meet certain requirements to receive financial assistance, which will cover the balance of their cost of attendance beyond federal loans. Each campus will adopt policies to administer the program and designate an employee as a liaison for students and prospective students. The Chancellor's Office will evaluate the program's effectiveness by 2030 and make it inoperative after 2031.
