Hello All, Please be aware that HOP Policy 5.13 Posthumous Degree<https://www.utsa.edu/hop/chapter5/5.13.html> was recently updated. The major changes are summarized below. * In addition to qualifying after passing away, students can now qualify if diagnosed with a terminal illness (must meet the additional criteria). * Students can now qualify for a posthumous degree if they have completed at least 75% of the requirements (had to be within 15 hours of graduation previously). * Students that do not qualify for a degree may qualify to receive an In-Memoriam Certificate acknowledging their valued membership of the UTSA community (must be in good academic standing). Various offices are reviewing past requests to determine if student may be eligible for a degree or certificate under the new policy, but please feel free to forward any student cases to GraduationHelpDesk(a)utsa.edu<mailto:GraduationHelpDesk@utsa.edu>.

FW: Housing First Project

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Good Morning, Please be aware of this support for students who face homelessness. Happy Wednesday - Sylvia ________________________________ From: Lisa McKenna <lisa.mckenna(a)utsa.edu<mailto:lisa.mckenna@utsa.edu>> Sent: Monday, June 28, 2021 3:33 PM Subject: Housing First Project Good Afternoon, I am reaching out today to share some exciting news and additional support as we reach our goals to ensure housing for our Youth. In the next 2 months, the coordinated entry process hopes to house all homeless individuals in Bexar County. The Housing First Project stands ready and fully staffed with 2 housing coaches and 2 peer advocates to provide housing support to the youth in our community. As a reminder, the Housing First Project is part of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Project (YHDP grant) to house Youth and Young Adults between the ages of 18-24 at risk for or currently facing homelessness. The project provides up to 24 months of rental assistance and supportive services to enrolled Youth and their minor children. We receive our referrals through the San Antonio Homelink referral system. If you know of a youth who may be facing or at risk for homelessness, encourage them to complete the Homelink assessment through one of the access points. Additionally, please have your youth reach out to me directly to assist in answering any questions they may have and navigating the process to be referred to our program if they so choose. My contact information is below to share with your students and youth and the Homelink pamphlet which provides assessment access points available is attached as well. Thank you, Lisa McKenna, MS Associate Director Bexar County Fostering Educational Success Housing First Project The University of Texas at San Antonio Department of Social Work College for Health, Community, and Policy 501 W.

FW: Housing Resources for Homeless Students

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

From: Angelica Enriquez <angelica.enriquez(a)utsa.edu> Date: Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 3:46 PM Subject: Housing Resources for Homeless Students Good Afternoon, I just wanted to send a quick note and let you know that we are struggling to identify youth and young adults (YYA) experiencing homelessness across our system currently. If you can refer YYA to a Homelink Access Point<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sar...> for assessment, that would be helpful! RMYA launched their mobile unit and has a Facebook page sharing their daily time/location. You can also refer YYA to the city’s Homeless Connections Hotline<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.san...> for assessment. I know we may see (sadly) an increase in people experiencing homelessness when the moratorium ends next week. Identification will also improve with the launch of SAMM’s drop-in center. But in the meantime, we don’t want our YYA to miss out on housing opportunities currently available. Thank you so much!
