If you ask the question of LACC’s homeless college students, too many will answer:
In our cars.
As President of the Rampart Village Neighborhood Council, an area inside of CD13 just south of Los Angeles City College, I am forced to ask the question every day on behalf of these students, even if the rest of City Hall doesn’t.
Many students who attend LACC, and the other eight campuses of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), are the first in their families to attend college. Unfortunately, the pandemic and ensuing economic hardship have forced many students to withdraw from classes. Dropout rates are at an all-time high. To add to this academic horror, many Los Angeles community college students find themselves homeless. The reality is that nearly 20% of LACCD’s student body is homeless according to a District survey taken in 2016.
