Student parents are juggling school, caregiving, and work—often while persevering through homelessness.
They deserve more than survival.

I don’t use this platform much these days, but wanted to share some work I’ve been proud of since joining @NewAmerica.
I’ve been writing about homelessness among parenting college students, what the data reveals, and what we can do about it. 🧵

NPSAS data shows they have the highest homelessness rates across institution types.
