Investing in the Long Term Housing Security of University Students
This session focuses on the development, implementation, and evolution of the Need Based Rent Subsidy program at UC Davis. We will focus on funding streams, eligibility criteria, determining students’ need without re-traumatizing them or asking them to perform their poverty, deciding how much each student receives, and evaluating appeals. Presenters will focus specifically on how they equitably distributed funds with a focus on those most often under-resourced in housing affordability initiatives: student parents, undocumented and AB540 students, and international students.
