R. Hallet & L. Skrla (2017) Serving students who are homeless. A resource guide for schools,

districts and educational leaders.

Students being homeless is a very severe issue. According to Gupton (July 2017), the

homeless student population is much larger than reflected in FAFSA data (pg.190). Colleges and

universities are still not required to keep track of homeless students in the institution. (pg.190).

Accordingly, one must panic and take student homelessness seriously in order to enact change.

Student homelessness can be reduced if educators and administrators have additional

resources and ideas to help students in need. According to Hallett & Skrla (2017) Educators have

long understood the importance of family and community characteristics in relation to

educational outcomes (pg. 11). School faculty, staff and leadership who become aware of the

economic and residential challenges of their students often feel compelled to find ways to meet

the needs they encounter each day as they interact with students (pg. 24). A school or district

could create a food and clothing bank or closely partner with an organization in the local

community (pg.132). Creating a comprehensive plan allows educator to move from a

conversation about access to school to also creating a system that encourages success and

persistence once enrollment and transportation are secured. Accordingly, educators and

administrators must resource into the community and organizations in order to help student

homelessness. Gupton,J (2017). Gupton, J.T. (2017).

Decision and Achievement. Edited by Arthur G. Cosby and Ivan Charmer
Student housing in rural America as well as education is not abundant. According to Falk

(1978) With a range of roughly 7 to 27 percent, all the counties have a greater percentage of

persons with less than five years of education than the corresponding 5.5 percent for the nation

(p. 53). 30 counties show more than 20 percent of its family population with less than a $3000

income (p. 53). Accordingly, students in rural America struggle more with education than the

rest of the country.

Low income families often struggled to provide for housing and often turned to schools

for help. According to Thomas (1981) A major criteria in establishing the data base of the SYS

was the initial selection in 1966 of high schools in counties designated as rural and economically

disadvantaged. Counties in Alabama and Georgia had been studied as a high poverty area were

30% required financial assistance from schools (p. 48). Accordingly, low income families

resorted to schools for housing and financial assistance.

Student housing is housing that is provided by a university or a place of higher education.

According to Thorman (2012) Single parents face particular challenges pursuing higher

education, including securing safe and affordable housing. According to Hallet many schools and

districts now serve communities where over 100% of the student population lacks residential

stability (p 3). Accordingly, student housing is that in which it is provided by higher education.

Student housing relates to persistence in higher education because it is directly correlated to

graduating.

R. Hallet & L. Skrla (2017) Serving students who are homeless. A resource guide for schools,
districts and educational leaders.
According to Hallet and Skrla (2017) Since the great Recession and housing collapse that began

in 2008, the number of students without residential stability nearly doubled (p. 3).

Accordingly, student housing is a complete necessity for students because without it

students can completely fall behind on their studies, not having housing affects time.

Time is the most valuable asset a human could have and without a home to sleep a

student will be scrambling in order to find a place to sleep and it will directly harm

studies. A minimum of eight hours is required to be able to successful and energetic

during the day and not having a place to sleep will decrease energy levels and harms

overall a students’ probability to pass and graduate. R. Hallet & L. Skrla (2017) Serving

New models of student housing and their impact on local communities. There has been a very

different change in student housing in universities. According to TANDFONLINE (2003) If

student housing developments are undertaken without regard for the consequences upon the local

community, then it is reasonable to expect numerous local-level problems (p. 116). If the size of

student housing development is consistent with existing residential patterns and the lease

arrangements are structures to encourage long-term residencies (or if alternative arrangements

are made to fill rooms during vacation periods) then the ebb and flow of demands upon services

are likely to be required for the whole of the calendar year and to attract a more diverse range of

students (p. 116). Accordingly, there has been a lot of changes made in student housing and how

it operates.

Participatory mechanisms are more likely to deepen in countries in Latin America.

According to CAMBRIDGE (2017). Latin America has been the emergence in Bolivia, Ecuador

and Venezuela of radical leftist governments committed to deepening democracy. To this end,

these governments have established a variety of participatory mechanisms (p. 1) In Ecuador

and Venezuela participatory mechanisms such as the Communal Councils and the
DISCOURSE COMMUNITY 7

Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control have appeared to favor the

concentration of power in the executive, contributing to the strangulation of democratic

representative institutions (p. 1). Accordingly, participatory mechanisms are becoming

greater with the growth of democracy in Latin America.

Student housing is often not refused by campuses. According to The Prospector (1946),

No students have been refused admittance because of a lack of housing facilities, but married

couples are finding the greatest difficulties (pg. 1). Generous cooperation was received in placing

“homeless” students in private city homes. “As a matter of fact, “, said Mr. Williams, “we were

offered more rooms than were necessary” (pg. 1) Accordingly, student housing is often not

refused by campuses and is often made overly available.

A shortage of student housing can become a massive problem. According to the

Prospector (1946), Final enrollment tab shows 1748 Mr. Haney says that this enrollment figure is

not greater than was anticipated for the fall term: Many more students would have made mines

their choice for collegiate training were it not for the critical housing shortage, Mr. Haney

believes (p. 1) The new dormitories will be used to relieve the acute housing shortage now facing

mine students (p. 1). Accordingly, housing for students is a problem that can be massive in

student success.
