Researchers have found that around 20% of CA community college students experience homelessness at some point over the course of a year, and many more struggle to pay rent.
UC officials estimate the overall impact of the proposed cut to the university system to be more than $600 million, more than half of UC’s total research awards.
UC could be especially vulnerable because it receives nearly $6 billion annually in federal funds for research and other program support and at least $1.7 billion in student financial aid, including Pell grants and work study programs.
