Are you Housing Insecure or Homeless?

The purpose of the Housing Insecurity Resources webpage is to provide the most up-to-date county and community housing resources available to assist Foothill College students who are facing homelessness or who are housing insecure. 

What is "Housing Insecure" and/or "Homelessness?

  • 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.

The Bill Wilson Center will assist students who are homeless or at risk of being homeless with immediate rental support.

All private rental opportunities are solicited by current Foothill or local students and property owners who live in the surrounding area who have notified Foothill College of available rooms or house sharing opportunities.

Like most community colleges, Foothill does not have housing on campus; however, the International Programs Office offers resources and assistance to help our international students find comfortable housing options.
