Our #RealCollege report documents the particular challenges parenting students face when it comes to providing for the basic needs of themselves and their children.
The report highlights that 53% of parenting students were food insecure, 58% housing insecure, and 17% homeless. The report also found that the majority of parenting students cannot afford childcare.
