Food, Internet, and Shelter

Kudos to Northwest Vista College’s Lisa Black who co-authored an article titled “Food, Internet, and Shelter: What Emergency Services Did Community College Students Prioritize During the COVID-19 Pandemic?”

Lisa, who is NVC’s director of Advocacy Services, co-authored the article with Zachary Taylor, PhD, of the Trellis Company. The article, featured in the December 2021 edition of Community College Enterprise, seeks to:

“understand student emergency aid needs shortly after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, this study reports on 333 community college students’ self-assessed emergency needs from March 26, 2020, until October 2, 2020. Results suggest that community college students self-reported the highest need for utility payment assistance, with food being the lowest need. How­ever, correlations were highest among housing and utility assistance, suggesting many community college students simultaneously struggled with housing and utility pay­ments, amplifying their financial burden and stress.”
