Homelessness and Housing Insecurity in Higher Education , Volume 43, Number 6 A Trauma-Informed Approach to Research, Policy, and Practice: ASHE Higher Education Report J–B ASHE Higher Education Report Series (AEHE) Series
This volume explores how homelessness intersects most social issues that marginalize individuals and negatively influence postsecondary completion, including poverty, foster care, and LGBTQ+ discrimination. As becomes evident, students experiencing homelessness should be considered in conversations about equity and access. For these students, completing some form of degree or certification beyond high school is a vital step in achieving future stability.
