College Students Face Food and Housing Insecurity - Jennifer Lee, GBPI

Many Georgia college students struggle to secure consistent housing and food, according to a recent study by the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice based at Temple University. Thirty-nine percent of college students surveyed faced housing insecurity, and 37 percent faced food insecurity. That means students had a challenging time paying for food, rent and utilities. One in three students said they skipped or cut the size of their meals because they couldn’t afford food. Overall, more than half of Georgia students faced food or housing insecurity in the past year. https://gbpi.org/2018/college-students-face-food-and-housing-insecurity/
