""They're already a part of our colleges and universities, and for far too long, our higher ed system really hasn't fully met their needs and has failed to fully see them.""
""This research really allows us to bridge that gap and be able to see, particularly when it comes to housing, how the resources that are available or not available are actually making that connection to caregiving students.""
Institutions have initiated programs to support students facing basic needs insecurity, yet housing insecurity remains under-addressed. A report from New America highlights that 46 percent of caregiving students moved multiple times for proximity to school, while 32 percent cited unaffordable rent as a reason for relocation. Additionally, 23 percent moved due to unsafe living conditions. Experts emphasize that housing instability is a structural barrier affecting enrollment and that higher education systems have not adequately addressed the needs of caregiving students.
