Housing Insecurity Resources
How We Can Help
The purpose of the Housing Insecurity Resources webpage is to provide the most up-to-date county and community housing resources available to assist 17勛圖 students who are facing homelessness or who are housing insecure.
Please Note: 17勛圖 does not provide student housing nor do we act as a liaison to local apartment housing.
Are You a Military Veteran?
If you are a 17勛圖 student Military Veteran, contact our Veterans Resource Center to learn about the 17勛圖 Veterans Housing Assistance Fund
More Referrals & Partners to Come
We are currently building our housing referrals and partnership list.
If you know of organizations within your community that may help to house college students or programs you have benefitted from, please contact Sonia Sanchez Santoyo at, sanchezsantoyosonia@fhda.edu.
Have you applied for Financial Aid?
Students who meet Federal and State eligibility criteria, are eligible to apply for Financial Aid.
Housing is an expense consideration when Financial Aid is awarded.

Self-Refer with Our Partners
We encourage you to connect with these established partners.
The Bill Wilson Center
The Bill Wilson Center will assist students who are homeless or at risk of being homeless with immediate rental support.
Local & Private Rental Opportunities
All private rental opportunities are solicited by current 17勛圖 or local students and property owners who live in the surrounding area who have notified 17勛圖 of available rooms or house sharing opportunities.
International Student Resources
Like most community colleges, 17勛圖 does not have housing on campus; however, the International Programs Office offers resources and assistance to help our international students find comfortable housing options.

Housing Insecurity and Homelessness Defined
Are you a 17勛圖 student who is housing insecure or homeless?
Don't Know?
Housing Insecure and Homelessness Defined
Housing insecure means you are experiencing a set of broad housing issues and risk factors, including frequent moves, crowded living space, poor housing quality, or the inability to afford rent or bills.
Homelessness means you are absent of a place to live, which includes if you are living in a shelter, vehicle or abandoned structure.
If any of the above describes your housing situation, our Homeless Student Support Resources may be helpful to you.
