Cities Addressing Basic Needs of Postsecondary Students
Posted by Tristan Remple under Resources and Media on May 1, 2024.
The National League of Cities has provided direct support to help cities work in partnership with their postsecondary institutions and community partners to remove barriers to basic needs such as food, housing, childcare, mental health services, transportation, or digital access for postsecondary students. NLC is working with local leaders to gain knowledge about their residents’ postsecondary completion challenges, identify specific basic needs to tackle and connect cities with their peers to share and refine approaches that hold promise in overcoming barriers to college completion.
