Homeless Youth and Higher Education: We
created this guide to help college students who struggle today with reliable
housing, bills, tuition and other financial challenges. The guide focuses on
the various (and perhaps unknown) on-campus, off-campus, and online resources
these students can turn to for help. Examples of these resources include:
- Resident life offices: to coordinate year-round housing
- Campus dining and associated food banks: to help provide regular meals
- Academic retention centers: to help homeless students stay on track
- National Center for Homeless Education: to help students understand their
rights
