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 CCCApply Standard Application, BOG, OpenCCC Account, Edit Account (Apply, BOG, IA) to comply.

SEC. 2.5. - Section 66025.9 of the Education Code is amended to read:

66025.9.

(a) The California State University and each community college district shall, and the University of California is requested to, with respect to each campus in their respective jurisdictions that administers a priority enrollment system, grant priority in that system for registration for enrollment to a foster youth or former foster youth or, until January 1, 2020, homeless youth.

(b) For purposes of this section:

(1) “Foster youth and former foster youth” means a person in California whose dependency was established or continued by the court on or after the youth’s 16th birthday and who is no older than 25 years of age at the commencement of the academic year.

(2) “Homeless youth” means a student under 25 years of age, who has been verified at any time during the 24 months immediately preceding the receipt of his or her application for admission by a postsecondary educational institution that is a qualifying institution pursuant to Section 69432.7, as a homeless child or youth, as defined in subsection (2) of Section 725 of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11434a(2)), by at least one of the following:

(i) A homeless services provider, as that term is defined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) of Section 103577 of the Health and Safety Code.

(ii) The director of a federal TRIO program or Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs program, or a designee of that director.

(iii) A financial aid administrator for an institution of higher education.

(c) For purposes of this section, a student who is verified as a homeless youth as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall retain that status for a period of six years from the date of admission to the postsecondary educational institution.

AB 801, Bloom. Postsecondary education: Success for Homeless Youth in Higher Education Act.

(1) Existing law, the Donahoe Higher Education Act, sets forth the missions and functions of the segments of postsecondary education in this state. Among other things, the act requires the California State University and each community college district, and requests the University of California, with respect to each campus in their respective jurisdictions that administers a priority enrollment system, to grant priority in that system for registration for enrollment to foster youth, as defined, or former foster youth, until the repeal of this provision on January 1, 2017.

This bill would enact the Success for Homeless Youth in Higher Education Act. The bill would delete the repeal date of, and thereby extend indefinitely, the above-referenced priority requirement, with respect to the California State University and community college districts, and the request for the granting of priority, with respect to the University of California. The bill would extend that priority requirement, and that request, to include homeless youth until January 1, 2020. To the extent that this provision would impose new duties on community college districts, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.

(b) For purposes of this section:

(1) “Foster youth” means a person who is currently in foster care, and “former foster youth” means a person who is an emancipated foster youth and who is 24 years of age or younger.

(2) “Homeless youth” means a student under 25 years of age, who has been verified at any time during the 24 months immediately preceding the receipt of his or her application for admission by a postsecondary educational institution that is a qualifying institution pursuant to Section 69432.7, as a homeless child or youth, as defined in subsection (2) of Section 725 of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11434a(2)), by at least one of the following:

Proposed Solution

Several new questions will be added to CCCApply, OpenCCC Account, and the BOG Fee Waiver application to comply with the new State of California mandate, AB 801. Each application has unique requirements and change specifications, detailed below.

In the OpenCCC Account (and Edit Account) a new checkbox question will be added to the Permanent Address section, allowing the applicant to indicate that they have no permanent address because they are currently homeless. A check in this box will remove the error validation on the permanent address fields so the student can continue through OpenCCC Account creation without being blocked. This new checkbox, "No Permanent Address - Homeless" will also trigger the display of a similar checkbox in the CCCApply applications (Standard, BOG, and International) and will remove the existing checkbox for "My current mailing address is the same as my permanent address in my OpenCCC account" - because we want to give students a chance to provide a P.O. Box or other temporary/current mailing address, even if they have no permanent address.

In the CCCApply Standard Application (Apply), a new question will be appear to identify homeless students who are under 25 years of age at the time of application. If the user indicated that they have no permanent address because they are homeless in OpenCCC, this new residency field will default to Yes, and will trigger an integrity flag (#40) in the Area B residency logic. The student will be identified as a "Possible Resident" for the purposes of establishing residency without a permanent address and based on the required proof of homeless determination may be eligible for priority registration, which they will be prompted to submit to the College A&R office.

In the BOG application, changes are consistent with the CCCCO approved BOG application for 2017-2018. The change specifications for the 2017-2018 BOG application are detailed here:
2017-2018 BOG Fee Waiver Application Changes

Requirements & Change Specifications are detailed separately for each Application, below.

OpenCCC - Requirements Summary

**Our goal is to try to get a current mailing address from the Homeless Youth, even if they don't have a Permanent Address. So if the user indicates they don't have a Permanent Address at any time, we don't want error messages popping up in either the Permanent or Current Mailing address area preventing them from continuing/submitting application.

OpenCCC - Change Specifications

The following change specification are for OpenCCC Account, Edit OpenCCC, Edit Account Apply, BOG, and International.

#

Description

1

IF <birthdate> indicates user is <25 years of age (under 25, 24 years + 364 days or under from current date <current_date>, THEN Add a new checkbox question and downloadable data field to the Permanent Address section in OpenCCC Account Creation and Edit Account (Apply, BOG, and IA) for applicant to indicate if they have no address because they are homeless.
1. Data field: <no_perm_address_homeless>
2. Condition: Always display in OpenCCC Account, Edit OpenCCC, Edit Account Apply, BOG, IA
3. See data field specs in table below.
4. Online Prompt Text:
  
   "I have no permanent address because I am currently homeless."

Questions:

Revisit all AB801 changes from MINOR vs Non-MINOR perspective.
What if the user is under 18? Should they confirm the homeless status of their parent or guardian? How?
Should we look at ages 13 - 18, and ensure they are providing information about their parent or guardian??
Should we limit the question to ages 19 - 24? if they check "Yes" to "I have no permanent address because I am currently homeless" - should a conditional question appear (pop up box) asking for the student to confirm their Parent/Guardian is homeless? OR
Or, display message stating that the student could be considered "non-resident" and have to pay nonresident tuition fees if they cannot prove California residency? Make it very hard to just cop out and not provide an address?
Should we add validation pop-up boxes for the student to confirm they have "no permanent address" every time they go into Edit Account OR start a new application? Otherwise, there is no reminder or incentive for the student to update their Account information - even if two years go by. (NOTE: There is no auto-population in Account or Edit Account.)
: If the user selects "My permanent address is outside the US" then DO NOT display checkbox for "I have no perm address - homeless" -
Add additional text to "I have no permanent address homeless" checkbox question for international students. "You must provide a permanent address if you are an internationa/F1 or M1 visa holder per federal SEVIS regulations."
Ensure this is also added to the Current Mailing "No current mailing homeless" checkbox too.
Add disclaimer for minors based on <birthdate> = see above

Suggestion: Add a note (pop-up box or error validation) notifying the student that if they select, "I have no permanent address because I am currently homeless" it will affect the ability for the college to determine their California residency. You may end up being assessed as a "non-resident" and subject to out-of-state tuition fees. Please add a permanent address or click here to confirm you have no permanent address.

If User checks "I have no permanent address because I am currently homeless" - ensure that the residency question "homeless youth" is YES. If the user tries to answer No to "homeless youth" then add pop-up validation stating they must either go back and re-enter Permanent & Current Mailing addresses OR change their response for Homeless Youth.
2. Add to download client for OpenCCC Account data fields (all apps should get this data field response).

UPDate 5/3/17: If user skips Permanent Address, but does not indicate they have been homeless within the last 24 months (residency question) add validation that requires them to either provide the Permanent address or change their response for HomelessYouth question. How should the UX be handled for this validation? Focus should return to Edit Account? Unzip the "No perm address" checkbox fields and require address?
Minors need to confirm that - if they say "No perm address" or "no current mailing address" that they are validating their Parent/Guardian's homeless status. How do we do that?

2

Add logic to remove error validation from all Permanent Address fields IF checkbox is NOT empty (applicant checks Yes) to "I have no permanent address because I am currently homeless" and zip up/roll up all Permanent Address fields from view.
The fields that should be zipped up from view are:

perm street 1 and street 2;
perm city
perm state
perm zip code
perm Non-US State/Province
perm Non-US postal code
perm country

Add validation so that - any time the user Edits their OpenCCC account - they must re-confirm they have no Permanent Address. Similar to the SSN Encouragment Language pop-up - hound the user until they provide a permanent address OR continue to validate their homeless status.

3

Add logic to remove error validation from the Current Mailing Address section if applicant checks "Yes" I have no permanent address because I am homeless" in Account or Edit Account.

current mailing street 1 and street 2;
current mailing city
current mailing state
current mailing zip code
current mailing Non-US State/Province
current mailing Non-US postal code
current mailing country

Issues from Colleges received since 6.0 release:

Allowing a student to not enter a permanent or current mailing address due to homelessness should at least be limited by age - only show this checkbox (No Mailing Address Homeless) if user is under 25 years of age (for Apply & BOG ONLY)
1. In addition, if the user is a minor (between 13 and 18) the permanent and current mailing address entered would be indicative of their Parent or Guardian. We should have some kind of pop-up or error validation asking for the student to confirm that their parent/guardian is currently homeless.
2. Also, if the user does not enter a permanent or current mailing address - for any reason - it could affect their residency status. Add a pop-up or validation notifying the user that by selecting "I have no xyz address because I am currently homeless" may affect their California residency status and they may end up being classified as a "non-resident" and therefore determined to pay "out-of-state" tuition fees.
International Application cannot admit a student who is homeless. This needs to be removed from the International application altogether. (Also, remove "No Non US Perm Address because Homeless" from International App).
For students under 19 years of age - we need to validate that their PARENT OR GUARDIAN is homeless. How do we do that? If they are between 13 and under 19, then if they select the box "I have not current mailing address because I am homeless" THEN display another pop-up box with alternate text stating, "By selecting this option, it may affect your California resident status and you may end up being classified as a "Non-resident" and required to pay out-of-state tuition fees. Please ensure

Add logic so that if applicant checks new question, then DEFAULT new Apply residency question field "homeless_youth" to YES. (Note: This is a requirement for Apply project, but double check that the logic is working from Account to Apply. The new Yes/No radial button question in Apply is <homeless_youth>. See requirements table for Apply below.

5

If new checkbox <no_perm_address_homeless> is Yes, not empty, then ensure the checkbox in all three Current Mailing address sections in Apply, BOG, and IA for "My current mailing address is the same as my permanent address in my OpenCCC Account" does not appear to the applicant in the Current Mailing Address sections.

Announcement from CCCCO about residency and priority registration eligibilities for AB801

Among other things, AB 801 (Bloom, 2016; effective January 1, 2017) includes provisions on providing priority registration to "homeless youth" as that term is defined in the bill (see Education Code section 66025(b)) and does not specifically address or provide any related change to existing residency classification requirements. Therefore, unless eligible for an "exception to residence determination" pursuant to Education Code sections 68070-85, such as under section 68085 applicable to current or former foster youth (“dependent” or “ward” of the state), A "homeless youth" student will still need to meet all currently applicable requirements to be classified as a resident for tuition purposes.

In summary, residency classification requirements do not change for students identified as "homeless youth" pursuant to the provisions of AB 801. This analysis was developed in consultation with Elias Regalado and Natalie Wagner of the Fiscal Standards and Accountability Unit of the Chancellor’s Office.

Additional implementation guidance concerning other aspects of AB 801 will be forthcoming from our Office.

It also is the intent of the Legislature that the funds provided pursuant to this subdivision directly offset mandated costs claimed by community college districts pursuant to Commission on State Mandates consolidated Test Claims 99-TC-13 (Enrollment Fee Collection) and 00-TC-15 (Enrollment Fee Waivers). Funds allocated to a community college district for determination of financial need and delivery of student financial aid services shall supplement, and shall not supplant, the level of funds allocated for the administration of student financial aid programs during the 1992–93 fiscal year.

(n) The board of governors shall adopt regulations implementing this section.

(o) This section shall become operative on May 1, 2012, only if subdivision (b) of Section 3.94 of the Budget Act of 2011 is operative.

SEC. 7.

Section 2.5 of this bill incorporates amendments to Section 66025.9 of the Education Code proposed by both this bill and Senate Bill 906.
