Don't Know?Housing Insecure and Homelessness Defined
Housing insecure means you are experiencing a set of broad housing issues and risk factors, including frequent moves, crowded living space, poor housing quality, or the inability to afford rent or bills. Homelessness means you are absent of a place to live, which includes if you are living in a shelter, vehicle or abandoned structure. If any of the above describes your housing situation, our Homeless Student Support Resources may be helpful to you.
