Los Angeles Room & Board

What factors contribute to college student homelessness in Los Angeles? We’ve summed it up here. We’ve also got a solution: https://opportunityhouse.larnb.org Los Angeles Community College District, Santa Monica College, West L.A.

Here’s the problem our students are facing. Los Angeles Room & Board has a solution. We’re using open spaces across Los Angeles to get our students housed & supported. Instead of building new housing, we can maximize the efficiency that already exists on our campuses and within our communities, by utilizing vacant/open spaces. Join our movement at www.larnb.org

For anyone who needs it, the program’s capacity has been increased by 460 rooms.
