The purpose of this paper is to examine rates of college students' housing insecurity from September to November 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on whether there are differences in disabled and nondisabled students' housing insecurity controlling for additional demographic variables and pandemic-related experiences. Using a large sample of 70,210 students enrolled at 130 community and technical colleges and 72 four-year colleges, we discovered that students with chronic illnesses, physical disabilities, psychological disorders, and multiple disabilities had significantly greater odds of experiencing housing insecurity compared to their peers. Students with cognitive, learning, or neurological disorders or disabilities and those who had no disabilities or medical conditions had significantly lower odds of experiencing housing insecurity compared to other students.
