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.

    The Alaska Victimization Survey (AVS) released a new report about the health of women who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Physical violence is a part of IPV, but it also includes things like controlling behaviors, threats of harm, and inflicting harm against people and things an intimate partner cares about. Dr. Ingrid Johnson with AVS told the Alaska Beacon these sorts of behaviors can have a lasting impact.
