COLLEGE ENROLLED AND HOMELESS?

COLLEGE ENROLLED AND HOMELESS?

A recent study reports that over a third of American college students are suffering from hunger and housing insecurity. That means financial strains have these teens and young adults dealing, on a daily basis, with a lack of food and/or the fear of being without shelter. 9% of these students are flat out homeless.

The report surveyed 43,000 voluntary students from 66 institutions—31 of them community colleges; 35 universities—in 20 states (+ Washington, D.C.).
