The College-Focused Rapid Rehousing Program—the $2.61 million state-funded community partnership among Sacramento State, California State University, Lutheran Social Services, and Sacramento Self-Help Housing—is offering students facing homelessness affordable housing to be able to continue pursuing their education.
Seven CSU campuses will receive funding for the program using money set aside in the state budget. The Sac State partnership will receive $870,000 annually for three years, which will go toward providing as many as 50 qualifying Sac State students with secure, nine-month leases of no more than $500 per month in apartments or homes close to campus secured by community partners.
