Posted by The Hope Center on May 5, 2020
We wanted to share our new report released this morning: Food and Housing Insecurity Among Philadelphia College Students: A #RealCollegePHL Report. The report is based on survey research conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic and so therefore likely underestimates the challenges faced by students in our city.
