November is Homeless Youth Awareness Month

Hello from Student Success,

black and white photo of a student sitting on the ground with their head hidden in their arms.We hope you are doing well. November is homeless awareness month and homeless youth awareness month. As temperatures begin to dip and the weather becomes increasingly colder, we often take for granted having a safe, warm home and a place to sleep. Not everyone, including our students, has the same experience of being housed. In November, local and national agencies highlight the increasing need for affordable housing, more housing units, and the need to serve our unhoused peers. Locally, Heartland Housed, is in charge of coordinated entry, a process that strives to streamline entry into the housing system. LLCC students experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity are able to meet with the HOUSE Liaison for referral and resource information.

If you have questions about types of housing support on campus, please reach out to Claire Heffron-McKinney.
