Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The prevalent issue of students experiencing homelessness at Humboldt State University is addressed in our project. We  found that students have the resiliency to stay in school and continue pursuing a higher education despite the insecurities of homelessness. We interviewed ten amazing students who gave testimony to the housing crisis affecting Humboldt County. These students found resiliency in their families, their community, their friends, and other effective resources. Their dedication to school was met with integrity, overcoming the barriers preventing them from housing all while pursuing a degree .
