Student Homes Coalition was founded in 2022 to address rising rates of housing insecurity and homelessness in campus communities across California. Chapters work to support the Coalition's statewide advocacy and implement policy solutions at a local level. Student Homes at UC Berkeley focuses on increasing housing development for students around campus and improving awareness of tenant rights for UC Berkeley students.
Our chapter is starting our launch in Fall 2026!
To understand the housing reality that UC students are facing, we need to look at the stats.

Community College students face the highest rates of homelessness and other basic needs insecurities. Often, community colleges are left out of the discussion when it comes to the California housing crisis. Because many are characterized as commuter campuses, they are often without on-campus dorms, forcing students into one of the most expensive state rental markets in the country. In fact, many students cannot live at home.
This data comes from a 2025 Real College CA Survey.
We believe that housing is a basic need and a human right that enables students to achieve their full potential. And we want to work hard to ensure housing is affordable and abundant for all students.
