Problem / Issue
Issue
The California legislature recently (9.21.16) chaptered bill AB 801 which requires CCCs to identify homeless youth - under age 25 (24 and under) - for the purposes of determining financial aid eligibilities and Priority Registration.
As it pertains to AB801, OpenCCCApply should be amended per the required changes to Ed Code 66029.5:
Add new downloadable data fields and onscreen question(s) to Account, Edit Account (Apply, BOG, IA), BOG, and Apply applications to comply.
Proposed Solution
Two new questions/data fields will be added to identify "Homeless Youth" under 25:
1) Add checkbox question in the Permanent Address section of OpenCCC Account creation;
2) Add question (Yes / No radial button) to the Residency page (near Foster Youth questions).
Default the "Yes" response on the residency question when the OpenCCC permanent address checkbox is checked.
3) Create new Integrity Flag to alert colleges to questions
