A Resolution Supporting the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act
WHEREAS, the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act eliminates a distinction in existing tax law that would result in allowing tax-exempt charitable and educational organizations to make grants to non-University owned not-for-profit student housing entities that provide collegiate student housing; and
WHEREAS, the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act would make college more affordable at no cost to taxpayers by offering a housing alternative less expensive than University housing; and

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED that the Johns Hopkins University Student Government Association supports Congressional passage of the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Johns Hopkins University Student Government Association asks the Maryland Congressional Delegation to sponsor the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act.
