Description
Student homelessness has become a widespread issue at higher education institutions. According to a 2016 survey of both four-year and community colleges, about seven percent of students experienced homelessness. Kennesaw State University (KSU) is not immune to those statistics. The first KSU homeless student was identified in the late 1980s. Since then, the number of students experiencing homelessness and food insecurity has grown every academic year. In the past three years, there has been a 98 percent increase in demand to help feed food insecure students on KSU’s two campuses.
