ANM 'Homelessness and Housing Insecurity' Special: Students and Youth

Our special report begins with a discussion of how homelessness and housing insecurity affect young people, including K-12 schoolchildren and a surprisingly large number of college students.

Jermaine Durham, assistant professor of housing and community development, and Carrie Smith, assistant dean of students for student care and outreach, join Alexia Ridley to talk about the challenges facing housing-insecure and homeless students, as well as the resources available to them.
