Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country are facing a major challenge: a widespread housing crisis. This video breaks down the intersecting factors causing this crunch—including skyrocketing student enrollment, decades of systemic government underfunding, and rapidly rising off-campus rents.
The data highlights the depth of the issue: according to a report by The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice, 55% of HBCU students reported experiencing housing insecurity, and 20% reported experiencing homelessness. As institutions work to protect the student experience, universities are turning to creative solutions, from public-private partnerships to modular shipping-container dorms.
