When Student Housing Is a Car: In College and Homeless
Smith, Randyl; Knechtel, Lena
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v57 n3 p322-337 2020
To examine the phenomenon of postsecondary student homelessness, data were collected in 2014-2015 and again in 2017-2018 to discover the prevalence, to gain greater understanding of the attendant challenges, and to identify resources that can assist homeless students in their educational endeavors. Results suggest which students are most at risk for housing insecurity. Suggestions for campus responses and resources are provided.
