The article discusses the significant impact of housing insecurity on college students, estimating that 20% face such challenges. California's 2020 initiative aimed to address this through the College Focused Rapid Rehousing (CFRR) program, which offers supports including rental subsidies and case management. An analysis showed that CFRR participants had higher enrollment and graduation rates, with most achieving stable housing a year later. The program allocated funds across the California public college systems, addressing the needs of students facing financial and housing difficulties, particularly those receiving aid.
In total, 639 students participated in CFRR across the 10 institutions, and 3,949 received short-term assistance-often preventing homelessness and ensuring academic continuity.
The study found that students who participated were more likely to remain enrolled and graduate compared to their peers, showcasing the program's success.
