Massachusetts pilots housing for homeless community college students - Hallie Busta, Education Dive

Twenty community college students in Massachusetts last month moved into dorm rooms at four-year public universities in the state through a $3 million state-led effort to reduce youth homelessness. The pilot program, which includes meals and snacks as well as some campus support services, covers students 25 and younger who are enrolled full-time in a participating public college or university. Bridgewater, Framingham and Worcester state universities are paired with Massasoit, MassBay and Quinsigamond community colleges, while the University of Massachusetts Lowell is paired with Middlesex Community College. https://www.educationdive.com/news/massachusetts-pilots-housing-for-homeless-community-college-students/547527/
