Like many systemic issues, these insecurities existed long before the pandemic but have only been exacerbated by it.  \nOver the years, many students have done their best but struggled to make ends meet. The Hope Center’s latest national data on student basic needs insecurity during the pandemic makes the magnitude of these challenges especially clear. Three in five students don’t have a stable place to live or enough food to eat. More than one in ten have lost a loved one to COVID-19 . Further, these impacts are not evenly felt. Significant gaps have been found between white students and their Black and Latinx peers across many of these alarming statistics.  \nThe pandemic also produced challenges and opportunities for institutions working to address basic needs issues. In fall 2021, colleges and universities across the country entered the third academic year disrupted by the pandemic. With the availability of vaccines and boosters, mask mandates, and other mitigation measures, many staff, faculty, and students returned to in-person work and learning. Institutional spending of emergency federal aid , which was earlier scaled in unprecedented fashion, continued to support operational continuity and directly aid students.  \nDespite these efforts and investments, the impacts of the pandemic for colleges and universities persist. Some colleges struggle to maintain in-person instruction as originally planned. The entire sector faces enrollment declines. Many institutions face challenges in reducing the bureaucratic red  tape for students seeking and receiving emergency aid.  \nWe know from our work at The Hope Center that colleges and universities across the country are continuing to look for ways to increase their internal capacity for research, practice, and advocacy on student basic needs issues. While every institution has a unique set of existing resources, collaborations, and local context, the starting point for advancing student basic needs supports is often the same: data collection.  \nLessons From the Field, for the Field  \nMany colleges are beginning to collect student basic needs data or are looking for ways to formalize and scale relevant workflows. These data inform how institutions develop services, target outreach, address equity gaps, pinpoint areas for systems change, and advocate for additional resources.  \nThis report illuminates lessons learned by The Hope Center and many of our partners, especially the Institutional Capacity Building Cohort described below, about how colleges and universities can turn  \n2  \nTHE HOPE CENTER  \nHO  \nPE  \nbasic needs assessment into action and navigate common challenges. In the pages that follow, you will find guidance and best practices on how to ground assessment plans in institutional priorities, get the right people at the decision-making table, differentiate between short-and long-term action, and much more.  \nWe hope that this report will equip institutional leaders and front-line staff with new knowledge for driving more positive, equitable student outcomes in the years to come.  \nCapacity-Building in Action  \nIn September 2021, The Hope Center launched its inaugural Institutional Capacity Building Cohort , a national initiative aimed at increasing the organizational and programmatic capacity of colleges and universities tackling student basic needs insecurity. The 27 member institutions in the cohort have gathered regularly to collaborate with The Hope Center and peers across the initiative to:  \n• Assess and analyze student basic needs security and experiences with the new econ","cbCaikXDW7KLfMxk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikXDW7KLfMxk","pdf",6121478,14,"English","# Introduction\n## A Heightened National Need\n# Lessons From the Field, for the Field\n## Capacity-Building in Action\n# Part I: Assessment and Analysis\n## Align Research with Goals","[{\"question\":\"How does the report recommend turning assessment into action?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes grounding assessment plans in institutional priorities, putting the right decision-makers at the table, distinguishing short- vs. long-term actions, and using the data to guide services, outreach, and systems change.\"}]","HOPE4COLLEGE - Turning Basic Needs Assessments into Action | PDF",1792052027,35]
