Campus Family Housing: An Inclusive Model Supporting Student-Parents and Their Families
About Campus, v29 n3 p12-24 2024
More than one-in-five of undergraduate students are raising dependent children as part of their college experience. Yet, while student-parents are a substantial demographic, with unique needs and challenges, the field of higher education has been slow to acknowledge their presence, and they still remain largely invisible on their own campuses. Housing insecurity and homelessness have been underexplored concerns when it comes to student-parents and their kids, but are a serious and widespread concern. This article discusses the creation of the Campus Family Housing Database Project, a nationally comprehensive database of colleges and universities with family housing, and the barriers to creating and sustaining family housing on campuses.
