Student homelessness and food insecurity was already a growing crisis before coronavirus, but the pandemic is making the situation even worse. The 2019 Report (before coronavirus) found that 39% of respondents were food insecure in the prior 30 days; 46% of respondents were housing insecure in the previous year; and 17% of respondents were homeless in the previous year.

The #RealCollege survey is the nation’s largest annual assessment of access to affordable food and housing among college students. Results can be broken down by state and institution, which state systems and individual colleges can use to better understand the degree of housing and food insecurity among their own students. This important information can help in designing appropriate supports for students in need.

Join SREB and The Hope Center at Temple University to learn about findings from the new #RealCollege During the Pandemic report, what you can learn from the upcoming 2020 survey, and how institutions and state systems can distribute the survey to their own students.
