A study released Thursday by the Hope Center, a research and policy institute, found that 19% of California’s 2.1 million community college students have been homeless during the past year. The survey is the most comprehensive yet done on food and housing insecurity in California community colleges, and included more than 40,000 students across 57 campuses.

Finper, the signal is: You makers must also provide housing expenses for college students (in addition to tuition Bernie style). These same college students who are homeless, can't:

• Live with parents
• Share a room
• Live in a dorm

No, they have no other choice but to resort to homelessness (even as they take thousands of dollars in loan money). Oh and they also need a stipend for expenses, like getting poke bowls for lunch etc.

In a wealthy state/country like ours we should be able to provide housing for all colleges students. Preferably brand new construction within walking or electric scooter distance of their colleges. AOC told me this so it must be true. She has an economics degree from Boston University so she's like really smart.

I would hardly call this veteran someone who is demanding free housing.

Just out of a four-year stint in the Marines, White moved to Oceanside in 2014 to attend MiraCosta College. A single father, he planned to share a home with friends and his then-5-year-old son Trey as he sought to become the first in his family to earn a college degree.

But the house didn’t work out, and his part-time job in a camera store didn’t pay enough for a place of his own. Trey had to stay with his mother in Nebraska, and White moved into his Chevy Silverado, working during the day, taking classes in the evening and searching out safe places to park at night. After eight months in the truck, with help from a veterans group, he got an apartment and got his son back. But trying to parent and pay bills while still making it to class was too hard.

“It just became a lot, trying to go to school, so I stopped going,” he said. “I don’t think paying for classes is the issue. I think it’s the housing, it’s the infrastructure, support. … If we want to lift ourselves up, if we want to produce a better set of leaders for tomorrow, we have to start addressing this.”

Or he could have stayed with his mother in Nebraska went to college there got a degree then applied for jobs in Oceanside acquired a job then move here. Instead he leaves his kid moved here to a shaky housing situation that fell through (shocking) gets a part time job and lives in his car then he quits school. Good planning buddy here's a apt. Now he's a dropout with a kid here no good job and wants more handouts. Good choices dude you'll go far.... on the back of Ca tax payers.

We have sunk pretty low as a society when we can give millions and billions of dollars to the special interests and will not build prisons to keep these monsters from the innocent citizens that deserve protection.. more totally preventable excon criminal vagrant atrocity...https://ktla.com/2019/02/13/parolee-...street-police/

where is the brutal rapist now? out waiting for some of the 10 MILLION DOLLARS Riverside just got? Notice how things have gotten worse along with the increase of spending and early release programs?? the "public servants " are thumbing their noses at us while people and families lives are destroyed. Life long mentally ill and criminals with no restraints or requirements-- what does anyone expect? Things are going to escalate as more and more freedoms and protection are given to the vagrants in the name of money. Everyone loses except the vagrant wrangler$

We have been over this haven't we- they have no place to live because their awful behavior makes them awful house guests or room mates. They destroy homes and lives for entertainment- the mess ,crime and drama are just aspects of their daily existence- history and the present as proof - they are NOT required to do anything but help keep the tax dollars flowing and even at that they are predominantly oblivious..

Everything these local “leaders “ touch turn to fail . La Mag did an article detailing the fail of HHH.
Who else is tired of these politicians coming up with these big spending plans and then patting themselves on the back and then totally failing to do what they promised ?

What a waste! Once again the tax payers were sold a bill of goods at their expense .

L.A Mag is left leaning also btw
—
Mayor Eric Garcetti and some members of the City Council had pushed for the $1.2 billion bond measure Proposition HHH.
. At the kickoff event for the campaign, City Council President Herb Wesson had enthused, “This might be the most important thing that all of us do in our lives.”
The average total cost for a unit of homeless housing in the HHH program — first projected at $350,000 — was more than $502,000 by the latest count, an increase of 43.4 percent.

At the rate the city is spending HHH money—and it has already committed about half of the $1.2 billion bond fund—officials project the total amount of units built could be fewer than 6,000. The population now living on the streets and in the shelters of the city is greater than 31,000, according to the Los Angeles Times.
