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.
