Housing insecurity is becoming a more and more frequent issue across many colleges and universities. The University of California System, the largest in the nation, reported that eight percent of their undergraduate population lacks a safe, regular, and adequate nighttime place to stay and sleep. Join our diverse panel of student housing experts to discuss critical impacts, observations, policies, and considerations around the ever-expanding cost burden in accessing a college degree.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Explain how student housing contributes to the overall accessibility of higher education and student retention, data associated with scope of housing insecurity, and advancing policies to mitigate the issue.
2. Detail strategies for implementing affordability from the design, programming, and planning disciplines, addressing issues of scale, efficiency, density, and community amenities.
3. Detail strategies for implementing affordability in construction, including prefabrication, modular, and project delivery models.
