La falta de vivienda entre los estudiantes universitarios de California ha alcanzado un nivel de crisis.<\/p>\n
Al enfrentarse a los crecientes costos de vivienda y una creciente escasez de viviendas asequibles, decenas de miles de estudiantes universitarios en todo el estado se encuentran sin hogar o la amenaza inminente de ello.<\/p>\n
Students from lower-income households are already at a huge disadvantage. Those among the bottom 20% of earners are seven times less likely to graduate. With more jobs than ever requiring a degree, addressing the issue of student homelessness is not only a humanitarian one but an economic one as well.<\/p>\n
Los legisladores estatales han reconocido parcialmente el problema al proponer una inversi\u00f3n \u00fanica de $10 millones en los colegios comunitarios de California (CCC) y otros $3 millones para los sistemas de la Universidad Estatal de California (CSU) y la Universidad de California (UC) para aliviar la inseguridad alimentaria de los estudiantes.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a necessary drop in the bucket but doesn\u2019t even begin to go far enough to address the root causes of hunger and homelessness among the student population. Senate Bill 568 digs deeper.<\/p>\n
Introduced by Senators Anthony J. Portantino (D-La Canada Flintridge) and Richard Roth (D-Riverside) in February, SB 568 aims to help California\u2019s students gain the education they need to succeed. The bill would establish the College-Focused Rapid Response Rehousing Program across the participating CCC, CSU and UC systems to provide homeless students with housing options and support services to help students transitioning into stable housing remain in college. It also earmarks funding to:<\/p>\n
Con la aprobaci\u00f3n de la SB 568, daremos un paso en la direcci\u00f3n correcta. La falta de vivienda de los estudiantes es un problema cr\u00edtico que necesita la atenci\u00f3n y la acci\u00f3n continuas de nuestros l\u00edderes.<\/p>\n
According to a recent survey, nearly 20% of the Los Angeles Community College District\u2019s 230,000 students experienced an episode of homelessness in the past year. While percentage-wise, CSU and UC fared somewhat better \u2014 with 11% (or about 47,000 students) and 5% (11,000 students) reporting an incident of homelessness, respectively \u2014 California\u2019s housing crisis is devastating its students.<\/p>\n
Los antiguos j\u00f3venes de acogida sufren la falta de vivienda a un ritmo desproporcionado en comparaci\u00f3n con la poblaci\u00f3n general. Ayudar a estos estudiantes a terminar la escuela, conseguir trabajos y establecerse como adultos productivos romper\u00eda el ciclo de abuso infantil y pobreza que est\u00e1n tratando desesperadamente de superar.<\/p>\n
Como proveedor de amplios servicios para j\u00f3venes de crianza temporal en todo el sur de California, Walden Family Services aplaude esta legislaci\u00f3n propuesta y hace un llamado a nuestros l\u00edderes para que aprueben r\u00e1pidamente la SB 568. Los estudiantes universitarios de nuestro estado deben concentrarse en sus estudios, no preocuparse por su pr\u00f3ximo lugar para dormir. estar\u00e1n.<\/p>\n
