Single Stop USA's Community College Initiative. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Brief. NCEE 2021-002
What Works Clearinghouse
Many programs and practices aim to improve college persistence and completion, including "Single Stop USA's Community College Initiative," hereafter referred to as "Single Stop." "Single Stop" supports community college students with screening and applications for public benefits and other wraparound services that can include housing, food assistance, tax preparation, child care, financial and legal services, and immigration consultations. This What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) report, part of the WWC's Supporting Postsecondary Success topic area, explores the effects of "Single Stop" on persistence in college and academic achievement. The WWC identified three studies of "Single Stop." Two of these studies meet WWC standards. The evidence presented in this report is from studies of the impact of "Single Stop" on first-time community college students--including Black, Hispanic, and White students--in urban, suburban, and rural settings. This intervention brief provides an overview of the full report. [For "Single Stop USA's Community College Initiative. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report. NCEE 2021-002," see ED611051.
