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.

  • 10.4% UAA students are homeless
  • 36% UAA students experience food insecurity during the school year
  • 37% UAA students don’t know if they can pay rent next month
  • Financial insecurity negatively impacts education and delays program completion for 46% UAA students

UAA employees, students and community programs provide services to help students get what they need so they can focus on their education.

    UAA’s College of Health participated in Juneteenth and Pride events this June. Hundreds of families and friends gathered to enjoy live music and explore booths from local businesses and artists. Rose Shoulders is the Student Recruitment Specialist for the College of Health. “It was great to see the community, to see that collaboration, to see everybody finding their families within each other at these events-that's what it is about.”
