As the blurb states, "this report shares findings from 91 institutions across 16 states that participated in Hope Impact Partnerships (HIP) and fielded The Hope Center Student Basic Needs Survey between Spring 2023 and Summer 2024." It reports the following: "59% of students experience at least one form of basic needs insecurity related to food or housing, including." It's good to see statistics like this reported (especially at a time of record corporate profits) but I would have to ask why  the authors focus on students only. Understanding that people without access to education face similar hardships is key to understanding one of the major roles of education in society. Via Robin DeRosa.
