Having a place to call home is an essential part of a student’s success. A study by the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice found that 19% of California community college students have been homeless in the past year and 60% have experienced recent housing insecurity. The Homeless and Housing Insecurity Program (HHIP) at Barstow Community College is dedicated to assisting students who require stable housing, that way they can successfully work towards receiving a college degree.
Eligibility: To be eligible for the Homeless and Housing Insecurity Program (HHIP) students must have completed six (6) units in a program of study with a minimum G.P.A. of 2.0, have fewer than 70-degree applicable units and meet the HHIP definition of homeless or housing insecure. Students must stay in good academic standing with the college while maintaining enrollment in at least six (6) units (excluding Summer).
Even if you do not meet the current eligibility guidelines, we encourage you to submit an application as certain exceptions may apply. We can also connect you with college and community resources tailored to your individual needs.
