Funds will be used to support Community Aid and Resources (CARe) to assist with student housing advocacy. Slug Shelter is not affiliated with UCSC.
The Difference We Make:
As tuition and the cost of housing rises in Santa Cruz County, an alarmingly large number of UC Santa Cruz students are left struggling with housing insecurity. College is difficult enough without having to worry about where one will sleep at night or where to get the next meal.
By providing housing to students from disadvantaged communities and situations that result in the experience of homelessness, we will be directly serving those in need. We advocate for safe and stable housing for students allowing them to focus on their school work and to reduce their stress and mental strain. With stable living, the students will be much safer, healthier, and overall better students.
We plan to give these students an opportunity for success that they may not otherwise have and allow them to focus on their classes—rather than merely surviving when they leave campus. By assisting students at this stage, it is our belief that we will not only help in the short term, but also in the future of these students and in their present and future dreams.
