Cal State Report: 10% of students experience homelessness, 23% worry about hunger - Phillip Zonkel, Long Beach Press Telegram

About 10 percent of students in the Cal State University system experience homelessness and another 23 percent of the students worry about hunger, according to a preliminary CSU study. The CSU said the report is the first time a public university system in the nation has conducted extensive research on these issues, with the goal of developing systemic solutions that will help students graduate. The study also found that CSU students experiencing food or housing instability have high levels of stress and need a single point of contact on campus. http://www.presstelegram.com/social-affairs/20160227/csu-report-10-of-students-experience-homelessness-23-worry-about-hunger
