More than 1.5 million college students nationwide, including those caring for young children, are grappling with the detrimental effects of homelessness. Lack of housing stability hinders educational success, while some level of postsecondary education is increasingly necessary to achieve economic stability and avoid homelessness. Parenting students, as well as youth and young adults, are often an overlooked population in housing conversations. To address this gap, join Opportunity Starts at Home, ¹ú²úÊÓƵ, and SchoolHouse Connection as we come together to discuss the impact homelessness has on college students, and explore data-driven solutions to better support this population.

Researchers from ¹ú²úÊÓƵ and SchoolHouse Connection will walk through data on the student parent population, rates of college student homelessness, and provide actionable steps to support these students and their families. Whether you serve in higher education, community-based organizations, policy, or research, this event will offer actionable insights to strengthen support systems for college students who struggle with homelessness.
