Housing and Other Resources
Help when you need it
Life outside the classroom can have a huge impact on your success in school. At times, you many need a little help.
Housing assistance
Reach out if you are a CLC student experiencing homelessness or are at risk of being homeless. This includes if you are
- sharing the housing of others due to loss of housing or economic hardship
- living in motels, hotels or camping grounds due to lack of alternative adequate accommodations
- living in emergency or transitional shelters
- living in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings
The Community Resource Coordinator can help you complete the Unaccompanied Homeless Youth form as part of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Contact Financial Aid with other FAFSA questions.
Other needs
Contact us if you need help applying for public benefits, including Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or other programs. A complete list of services provided by the Community Resource Coordinator are found in the Student Portal.
