Addressing Community College Student Housing Insecurity Through University Partnerships

Описание: Housing insecurity remains a widespread issue in California, with the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) reporting 65% of community college students faced housing instability in 2023 alone. This is a burden that disproportionately affects African American and Latinx students.

In response, many community college campuses are exploring innovative partnerships with local universities. Such partnerships are designed to tackle the pressing challenges of housing access and affordability for community college students. Here in the golden state, the Foundation for the Los Angeles Community Colleges is paving the way, supported by a Michelson Spark Grant.

On September 25th, presenters from throughout the California Community College (CCC) system shared their experience establishing these partnerships to leverage new and existing student housing for CCC students. Join us for a conversation that will spotlight solutions rooted in collaboration and equity.
