Homeless Student Community Resources 

A student is “homeless” if residing in emergency or transitional shelter or living in a local motel. They can also be homeless if they were evicted, their home was foreclosed on, they’re fleeing domestic violence, or there was a house fire and they are “temporarily” displaced. The temporariness of the situation is what determines their “homeless status” in a doubled up situation.
