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 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 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!

Airika has requested I forward this communication. Please be aware if you are supporting a precariously housed or homeless student. This may be beneficial information
for the advisors and first-gen staff.
