Hunger & Homelessness Support Network
The Hunger and Homelessness Support Network (HHSN) aims to develop sustainable solutions for UAA students facing housing and food insecurity. Our research team conducted multiple campus-wide surveys to identify economic barriers that impact students' well-being and education.
UAA employees, students and community programs provide services to help students get what they need so they can focus on their education.
