A Chancellor's office study on food and housing insecurity in the CSU system revealed that 12.5 percent of CSULB students report homelessness throughout the year and 42% of CSULB students report food insecurity and struggling to afford regular, healthy meals. Students have shared that they have difficulty focusing and engaging in the classroom when they do not know where they are going to sleep, how they will pay their rent, or not eating enough food because they can't afford it. Because of community support and donations, we are able to serve even more students and keep more students in the classroom, and helps our low-income students feel that they belong and are supported by their institution and community.
