In yesterday's Q&A about community service and students, we pointed out that part-time or full-time students residing in public housing are not exempt from the community service and self-sufficiency requirement (CSSR). Students may, however, be in compliance with the CSSR by performing at least 8 hours per month of self-sufficiency activities. We also advised that such students should be reported as “in compliance” on Form HUD-50058 rather than reported as “exempt.”

QUESTION I have read the new HUD notice on community service and I’m a little confused. I reviewed the list of exemptions and none of them seem to apply to full-time college students. Only students seeking a high school diploma or general equivalency (GED) certificate are exempted under "work activities." We exempt all of our full-time students. Are they supposed to be performing community service activities?
