Homelessness among at-risk transitional age youth is an increasingly growing crisis impacting college-aged students across the United States. Thankfully, along with interest in their local community’s success, universities have the necessary resources that may offer a unique solution to this crisis. This study describes the pilot of a collaborative effort among a local youth shelter, mental health center, and a private university that provides housing and a college education simultaneously for college students experiencing homelessness and evaluates whether students who participate in such programs experience and maintain increases in life satisfaction, wellbeing, and resilience. Data were collected from a total of seven college students over a period of four years for this longitudinal study, yielding limited but encouraging results about the pilot process and the potential for an expansion of the project. Students were asked to complete surveys that assessed resilience and life satisfaction using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) and the Satisfaction with Life scale (International Wellbeing Group, 2013) . Results showed students in the program presented similar scores as the general population (Zimmermann et al., 2020) . Scores of well-being and resilience fluctuated; however, over time student wellbeing and resilience increased overall. Students participating in this comprehensive program achieved stability, safety, an increased standard of living, and connection. Results suggest that universities have the resources and networks to provide wrap-around services to students facing homelessness, increasing overall life satisfaction and resilience, and improving the likelihood of graduation.  \nA university degree has long been touted as the prerequisite for social and economic mobility in the United States. Adults with at least a bachelor’s degree earn more income throughout their lives, have stronger protections against unemployment risk, are less likely to experience poverty, and are more likely to have health insurance (US Census, 2019; Vasquez, 2020) . However, while attaining a degree, students continue to face challenges that demand resilience and support. Basic needs insecurity among college students has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, as has greater public awareness of the problem. Financial insecurity, or insufficient monetary resources for basic needs, further contributes to food and housing insecurities among college students. Housing insecurity, fluctuating from challenges in paying rent to homelessness, affects one-third of students trying to earn a 4-year degree (GoldrickRab et al., 2019). A Wisconsin HOPE Lab nationwide survey with over 43,000 respondents found that 36% of university students across 20 states who attended either ","cbCaihFCPoPJINRw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihFCPoPJINRw","pdf",902449,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Context and Rationale\n## Higher education and mobility\n## Basic needs insecurity and housing insecurity\n# Definitions and Prevalence\n## Homelessness definition\n## Housing insecurity and youth homelessness\n# Associations and Academic Impact\n## Academic outcomes and concentration\n## Physical and mental symptoms\n## Barriers to accessing resources\n# Program Design and Longitudinal Evaluation\n## Pilot approach and data collection\n## Survey measures and results","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the study focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on homelessness and related basic needs insecurity among at-risk transitional age youth attending college.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the pilot program structured and what did it provide?\",\"answer\":\"The pilot involved collaboration among a local youth shelter, a mental health center, and a private university that provides both housing and a college education.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes did the researchers measure and how did students change over time?\",\"answer\":\"Students completed surveys assessing resilience and life satisfaction using established scales.
