The student has indicated that she’s not coming out while in high school, so her chances of being kicked out before college is low or zero. The bigger concern is the situation once in college.

This subject has come up before and not just for situations like the OP’s. We’ve often seen kids say that once they’re 18, they have to move out.
We have never advised that in these situations that these students can now claim being homeless and be considered independent on FAFSA. After all, if this were to be the case, millions more parents would suddenly tell their kids that they must move out in order after high school in order to qualify for more aid.
What do you say about that link above. Can anyone under age 21 claim to be homeless because they can’t live with their parents and get independent status?
