i stopped in my car and. i stopped on the couch i was very. i just didn't know what to do i don't have anyone here. for many people college is the door to a better opportunity but that opportunity doesn't always come with a roof and 4 walls according to the u.s. department of education and 2017 there were an estimated 32000 homeless call these students in the united states so what is being done if anything to address the issue or here in our studio to discuss this day she's a recent graduate of the university of maryland eastern shore sarah gold for a grab she's a professor of higher education policy at temple university and founder of the hopes for college community and justice barbara duffield she is the executive director for schoolhouse connection a leading nonprofit working to eradicate student homelessness and joining via skype from chicago illinois cornell

a student at the paul university welcome everyone to the stream is really good to have you i'm going to start on dom's instagram account i have checked ahead of time so i won't embarrass am just going to scroll down here so we can have a look. smiley smiley beautiful locations very nice you would not know from your instagram account from your social platforms without looking a little bit closer than your student studying and you don't have a definite home to go home today. can you explain your deliberate mall for us. yeah i think a big part of that for me is understanding that the perception and i guess the dominant narrative around hopelessness is is that homeless people are smart homeless people ready are or dirty or or not capable of achieving. or contributing to society and i really you know now i'm being more vocal about my

experiences but i think for me there was always that underlying sense of shame and you know a little meanness it can be kind of lonely so i didn't want anyone to look at me different and i want to show people by what i'm capable of achieving in the content of my character that i'm more than just my experiences and more than just a homeless person and i'm so much more than that. was that at a time when you had to just come out and say i don't have any way to stay tonight and he was studying. absolutely. i've dealt with homelessness my entire life. losing my parents at a young age my mother to addiction my father to incarceration you know i say that i was totally orphaned by the war on drugs which is the story of many

folks around the world is the same story of black and brown it's in the south side of chicago it's. we're going to reconnect with dom he's frozen literally because he's in chicago illinois and it's very cold out. get back to you in just a moment exactly but picking up on that story i wanted to share this one from race a former member of the stream team and she writes in a close friend of mine lived in her car for some time in college she did great in school she was super outgoing and involved and so it was hard to notice that she was struggling she later told us after she found a place to live but they had the idea that someone could be struggling and still have a full social life on college and no one else know that they're struggling how does that. basically you have me. in the press the only thing that i had to look towards too and only then i can have my name is my degree earned it.

only will have that only a close member or friends know about it in a dry to help me the best way it's possible try picking up jobs and everything but when i got home. and went straight to promise place and they held a spot for me every time so i didn't really house hop from place to place but busy was resign and showed her into a graduate promised place tell us about that promise places a new shelter and capitol heights maryland so basically it housed about 10 boys and 10 girls ages $14.00 to $25.00. so. help will school. in will try to get you on the right track but you have to work hard to get where you need to go home so this take you down. so how do you even know that a student who's going to classes turning up for school is actually struck me with some way to live you know the only way that you know is ask them i mean that's the

truth and i think the reason that most people don't know about this problem is they're not asking the questions we ask students how they spend their time working and we ask if they're studying but we don't check on them to make sure they have a roof over their heads and you'd be surprised how many times the student who looks is kind of fronting like they have it together did you see did see dome's instagram see how they live in his press lives on instagram he absolutely is and he's doing it as he said because there are consequences to him not doing that he will be perceived as not a serious student if he does not present that front but behind the scenes the struggle that's going on is undermining their academic performance. yeah i was thinking you know d.j. what you said about keeping your eye on the prize i think a lot of people think that because a student a person is homeless education will be less important but in fact the truth is it makes it more important because it's the way out. i'm so glad that you're back with us your skype froze for

a minute but i wanted to give you this tweet we got from the us leon who says this is not surprising when we hear about public housing in places with no hot water or heating especially in the u.s. 80000 people in chicago are sleeping on the streets this winter let's examine the causes behind homelessness in the u.s. students aren't any different from the rest and so just to give our audience an idea of what people in chicago are facing right now i wanted to show this headline from the chicago tribune dangerous deep freeze a weather alert running list of everything that's closed in the city of chicago which is facing record breaking low temperatures. talk to us about what it's like to be a student without a dedicated place to go in a place like that. yeah it is in a place that is so cold in the place that it when i say cold but don't just mean temperature i live in the city of chicago where there are always people around

every corner and i think we're so desensitized to that fact that we sort of just hop on over them and you know go on to our jobs but they're just like us and the reality is that a majority of americans can't afford a 500 dollar emergency so we're all close to 2 ready to homelessness and for me personally having slept in shelters and cars and parks my whole life. it's. it's too chilly there pun intended but it's it's you know it's scary and it's sad and sometimes you just have to do things to survive and you have to keep going you have to keep getting that degree because you know it's your only way out. and not everyone has the opportunity to go to school so we need to make education a right for all regardless of income station how you judge going getting you education and then also just making sure that you know you'll surviving because if

you don't have a regular place to stay or so that's huge issues as well just getting the next meal but when i come back home on the washington d.c. have a job at waking is that what's that head since high school basically when i come home from school and they held my position so i have a little bit of change to get food in the necessities need it so some situations kind of different but i kind of head of a little tiny bit of stability with money yeah so this is really important because the fact that you were able to have a job provided some help i think a lot of people assume that homeless college students are. homeless because they're not working and our evidence collected over years and years shows they are they are getting financial aid and they are working but the fact is that financial aid pays far less than it used to work pays far less than it used to and so it's possible to

be using all these forms of support and still not making ends meet i want to pick up on the idea of food because some college students are facing so much and food insecurity is a part of that so i wanted to show you this this is from the chronicle of higher education and this is frankie frankie is a student and he also represents 2 year and technical college students in minnesota and he talked to the stream about the issue he sees as the problem means for you to say in the reason that we are facing almost in food insecurity on our campus is because of the high cost of tuition often students have to make a choice whether they're going to classical greek where they're going to work to pay off their student loans and. the students who should come in the classroom and right now are students are being graded on how well they can and almost. basic needs so there he talks about of course the high cost of tuition and barbara

how do you go about addressing that because that doesn't seem like it's changing anytime soon and there are there are macro issues and there are micro issues and one of the biggest challenges that we see is yes or the higher cost the financial aid doesn't pay for all of the cost the cost of attendance etc but also for students who are experiencing homelessness particularly under age 24. but just getting financial aid is a challenge so we see over and over and over again calls from youth who can't document their homelessness who are being told to go stay in a shelter if one exists to find evidence of a primal death certificate or some other documentation of their homelessness in order to get financial aid so that's one major challenges is just even to be able to get what you have what you are entitled to by your by virtue of your income if you are experiencing homelessness if you don't have a parent and you're under age 24 that's a hurdle right there. guess what i'm finding really interesting is how many

students and then colleges are working out we need to do something i want to show you something which is the brewing shelton this is in california and you can see what some students and i call each state to get together and help their students who don't know have you don't have any way to live have a look. i'm sure your pastor here had mounting all the bills from church and instead of marker california you are the froward host of the brand new rule in the short term we cruise through in shelter because we became very aware of need dire need at u.c.l.a. we found that there were a number of students sleeping in off places on campus shelter it is a place where it seems like people who are just like me who are just trying to get an education to mean do that safely that kind of living in fear for their own safety on top of having to the school. say i'm just beginning to wonder if more more.
