How advocates at one university are addressing student homelessness
“According to a survey of undergraduate and graduate students at N.C. State, 9.8% of students experienced homelessness sometime in the 2019-20 school year, meaning they didn’t have a place to sleep for at least one night. That number increased to 15% during the pandemic.
Two researchers and advocates have been leading a years-long effort to expand services to students facing food and housing insecurity at N.C. State and for college students more broadly. Out of this study has come a program that could be one of the first of its kind in the country.”
