The AIA Orange County Women in Architecture Committee Presents:
College Students and the Affordable Housing Crisis
California is experiencing a critical shortage of affordable housing for students, forcing millions to decide between paying for education or providing food and shelter for themselves and their families. According to a 2021 state Assembly report, approximately 5% of UC students, 10% of California State University students, and 20% of community college students reported being homeless at some point during the 2021-22 academic year. This panel of local Community College, State College, and University representatives will discuss how local schools are responding to student homelessness and housing insecurity, the need for affordable housing, and plans for the future.
Learning Objectives. Attendees will:
