Proposed Change to Residency LogicYes / Proposed change to Area B / Res status 

Problem / Business Need


The current implementation for identifying homeless students in OpenCCCApply has some flaws that have created barriers for homeless students who are otherwise California residents. 

This change proposal pertains to all homeless - regardless of age - and there are no changes being made to the "Homeless Youth" question, logic, or data field. 

Currently in CCCApply, applicants who indicate they are homeless (regardless of age) and have no permanent address, and/or current mailing address, are being flagged as "possible residents, documentation required" in the residency algorithm (residency status = 2) - regardless of whether they are legitimately California residents or not. The flag is being set in Area B of the logic which looks at the student's addresses and if the permanent address state is not California, and/or the current mailing address state is not California, then a Class B2 status is set, integrity flags are triggered, and ultimately the applicant's residency status requires proof of California residency for the tuition purposes. 

Ultimately, this added burden of providing additional proof of California residency (to determine tuition purposes) is creating a barrier for homeless students who are already dealing with challenges. Removing this barrier supports the student success and streamlines the application and matriculation process for homeless students.


Proposed Solution 

According to a legal opinion provided by Mr. Peter Khang of the Office of General Counsel, CCCCO, residency cannot be based on address alone, and should not be the determining indicator for residency determination if the applicant has indicated they are currently homeless. 

Therefore, the most straight-forward solution to this issue includes adding a change to Steps 8 & 9 of the Area B logic - to ensure the student is not homeless when their address "State" is NOT California.  This additional IF statement will continue to flag students who are not California residents, who are not homeless. 

Update: 1.22.20 -Re-prioritizing the development of the Integrity flag in 6.7.0
In addition, a new integrity flag will be added to the Table F. Integrity Flags that will alert the Admissions Office that the student is currently homeless.

Ms. Donohue,

Elena Alcala indicated that you had a question on whether permanent residence was required to establish residency. The answer is no. 

California Education Code section 68062 does not require a “permanent residence”.  Residency only requires an act and intent to remain in California.  Further, the section contemplates that someone can return to a place of residency (e.g. a California resident going to school in Oregon never loses status as a California residence even though his/her address may change for school purposes).  Thus, a student could change his/her “permanent residence” throughout the year and still be a California resident, so long as the student stays in California the entire time.

I hope this helps.  Please contact me if you have any other questions or concerns.

  • Homeless students who are NOT California residents will still be flagged for residency based on the other residency questions that will determine their residency status for tuition purposes. 
  • Homeless youth - students who are 25 years old or younger at the time of application will continue to see the "Homeless Youth" question, will not be affected by the proposed changes, and will continue to be eligible for priority registration based on whether they have been homeless any time within the last 24 months

Note: 11.05.19:  Patty met with Colleen Ganley, CCCCO, and Debbie Raucher, John Burton Foundation to discuss and approve following solution:


Change Requirements

Story:  As an applicant who is currently homeless, completing the CCCApply application, I need my residency determination status - for the purpose of determining my tuition - to NOT be based on my physical address or my mailing address because I am currently homeless so that I am not burdened with providing additional documentation proof of my California residency.

 

  1. Revise Step 8 of the Area B residency logic to ensure homeless applicants (regardless of age) are not flagged if they have no current mailing address because they are currently homeless:

    1. Revise the Evaluation Statement language in Step 8 from: "Is the applicant’s current address outside of California?" 
      TO:  “Is the applicant’s current mailing address blank or outside of California and she/he is NOT homeless?”

    2. Revise the Data Elements & Logic statement in Step 8 from:  ‘Mailing address – state’ != CA
      TO:  
      'Mailing address - state DOES NOT EQUAL California AND <no_current_mailing_homeless> is EMPTY.

      1. Keep existing "If Yes" statement:  "If Yes = Set Class B2, and trigger Integrity (flag 01) and go to Step 9"

      2. Keep existing "If No" statement:  "If No = Go to step 9"

  2. Revise Step 9 of the Area B residency logic to ensure homeless applicants (regardless of age) are not flagged if they have no permanent address because they are currently homeless:
    1. Revise the Evaluation Statement in Step 9 of Area B to read:
      ”Is the applicant’s permanent address outside of California and he or she is NOT homeless?”
    2. Revise the Data Elements & Logic statement in Step 9 from: ‘Permanent address – state’ != CA

      TO:
      'Permanent address - state DOES NOT EQUAL = California AND <no_perm_address_homeless> is EMPTY

      1. Keep existing "IF Yes" statement: = "If Yes = Then, Set Class B2, and trigger integrity (flag 02), and go to step 10"

      2. Keep existing "If No" statement: "If No" = Go to step 10


Acceptance Criteria:

Applicants that have <no_current_mailing_homeless> = True should not be flagged with Integrity Flag 01

Applicants that have <no_perm_address_homeless> = True should not be flagged with Integrity Flag 02

Assembly Bill No. 806

CHAPTER 163


An act to amend Sections 66025.9, 67003.5, 69514.5, 69561, and 76300 of the Education Code, relating to postsecondary education.

[ Approved by Governor  July 31, 2019. Filed with Secretary of State  July 31, 2019. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 806, Bloom. Postsecondary education: homeless and former homeless youth.
(1) Existing law 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 for registration for enrollment to homeless youth, as defined. Existing law repeals this requirement on January 1, 2020.
This bill would add former homeless youth to the students to be granted, or requested to be granted, priority enrollment. This bill would extend the operation of this provision indefinitely. By extending the operation of requirements relating to student eligibility for priority registration at community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) Existing law requires qualifying institutions, other than the University of California, which it requests, to designate a staff member who is employed within the financial aid office, or another appropriate office or department, of the institution to serve as a Homeless and Foster Student Liaison and to inform current and prospective students of the institution about student financial aid and other assistance available to homeless youth and current and former foster youth, as specified.

This bill would add former homeless youth to the students with whom a Homeless and Foster Student Liaison works. To the extent that this provision would impose new duties on community college districts, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.
(3) Existing law establishes the Student Aid Commission and assigns to it numerous duties with respect to student financial aid programs, including the Community College Student Financial Aid Outreach Program and the Student Opportunity and Access Program. Both of these programs serve youth from low-income households.
This bill would add former homeless youth, as defined, to those served by these programs.
(4) Existing law requires the governing board of each community college district to charge an enrollment fee of $46 per unit per semester, but requires the waiver of this fee for students meeting specified requirements.
This bill would add persons who are, at the time of enrollment, former homeless youth, as defined, to those eligible for this fee waiver. To the extent that this provision would impose new duties on community college districts, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

(2) The board of governors shall proportionately adjust the amount of the fee for term lengths based upon a quarter system, and also shall proportionately adjust the amount of the fee for summer sessions, intersessions, and other short-term courses. In making these adjustments, the board of governors may round the per unit fee and the per term or per session fee to the nearest dollar.
(c) For the purposes of computing apportionments to community college districts pursuant to Section 84750.4 or 84750.5, as applicable, the board of governors shall subtract, from the total revenue owed to each district, 98 percent of the revenues received by districts from charging a fee pursuant to this section.
(d) The board of governors shall reduce apportionments by up to 10 percent to any district that does not collect the fees prescribed by this section.
(e) The fee requirement does not apply to any of the following:
(1) Students enrolled in the noncredit courses designated by Section 84757.
(2) California State University or University of California students enrolled in remedial classes provided by a community college district on a campus of the University of California or a campus of the California State University, for whom the district claims an attendance apportionment pursuant to an agreement between the district and the California State University or the University of California.
(3) Students enrolled in credit contract education courses pursuant to Section 78021, if the entire cost of the course, including administrative costs, is paid by the public or private agency, corporation, or association with which the district is contracting and if these students are not included in the calculation of the full-time equivalent students (FTES) of that district.
(f) The governing board of a community college district may exempt special part-time students admitted pursuant to Section 76001 from the fee requirement.
(g) (1) The fee requirements of this section shall be waived for any student who meets all of the following requirements:
(A) Meets minimum academic and progress standards adopted by the board of governors, which fulfill the requirements outlined in this paragraph and paragraphs (2) to (5), inclusive. Any minimum academic and progress standards adopted pursuant to this section shall be uniform across all community college districts and campuses. These standards shall not include a maximum unit cap, and community college districts and colleges shall not impose requirements for fee waiver eligibility other than the minimum academic and progress standards adopted by the board of governors and the requirements of subparagraph (B).
(B) Meets one of the following criteria:
(i) At the time of enrollment, is a recipient of benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment Program, or a general assistance program.
(ii) Demonstrates eligibility according to income standards established by regulations of the board of governors.
(iii) Demonstrates financial need in accordance with the methodology set forth in federal law or regulation for determining the expected family contribution of students seeking financial aid.
(iv) At the time of enrollment, is a homeless youth or a former homeless youth as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 66025.9.
(2) (A) The board of governors, in consultation with students, faculty, and other key stakeholders, shall consider all of the following in the development and adoption of minimum academic and progress standards pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1):
(i) Minimum uniform academic and progress standards that do not unfairly disadvantage financially needy students in pursuing their education.
(ii) Criteria for reviewing extenuating circumstances and granting appeals that, at a minimum, take into account and do not penalize a student for circumstances outside the student’s control, such as reductions in student support services or changes to the economic situation of the student.
(iii) A process for reestablishing fee waiver eligibility that provides a student with a reasonable opportunity to continue or resume the student’s enrollment at a community college.
(B) To ensure that students are not unfairly impacted by the requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1), the board of governors shall establish a reasonable implementation period that commences no sooner than one year from adoption of the minimum academic and progress standards, or any subsequent changes to these standards, pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) and that is phased in to provide students adequate notification of this requirement and information about available support resources.
(3) It is the intent of the Legislature that minimum academic and progress standards adopted pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) be implemented only as campuses develop and implement the student support services and interventions necessary to ensure no disproportionate impact to students based on ethnicity, gender, disability, or socioeconomic status. The board of governors shall consider the ability of community college districts to meet the requirements of this paragraph before adopting minimum academic and progress standards, or any subsequent changes to these standards, pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1).
(4) It is the intent of the Legislature to ensure that a student shall not lose fee waiver eligibility without a community college campus first demonstrating a reasonable effort to provide a student with adequate notification and assistance in maintaining the student’s fee waiver eligibility. The board of governors shall adopt regulations to implement this paragraph that ensure all of the following:
(A) Students are provided information about the available student support services to assist them in maintaining f
