The more significant work is meeting every student where they are and ensuring they have the support they need to succeed. Creating equitable conditions for students requires viewing them holistically, and that happens through understanding the external challenges and barriers to success they face. The mission has never been more critical than it is now.  \nCCCSE gratefully acknowledges ECMC Foundation and The Kresge Foundation for co-funding this project, which allowed CCCSE to build on working knowledge about food insecurity, housing insecurity, and homelessness among community college students.  \nThese foundations provided support for the selection of additional survey items focused on students’ basic needs, which were added to the 2021 administrations of the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and the Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE); CCCSE’s interviews with students at three community colleges; and the development of this national report.  \nAt a time when enrollments are down, achievement gaps persist, and students are in need of support in ways that were perhaps not fully realized before the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring these pressing issues at the national level and bringing further attention to the students who endure these hardships could not be more crucial.  \nThe following advisory panel of experts provided guidance on the selection of the additional survey items:  \n◗ Dr. Rashida Crutchfield, Associate Professor, California State University, Long Beach  \n◗ Dr. Melissa Richardson Curtis, Vice President of Student Success, Howard Community College (MD)  \n◗ Dr. Brenna Ellison, Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Coordinator, Agricultural Economics, Purdue University  \n◗ Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab  \n◗ Dr. Davis Jenkins, Senior Research Scholar, Community College Research Center, Teachers College Columbia University  \n◗ Dr. Kay McClenney, Senior Consultant to the President and CEO of the American Association of Community Colleges; Senior Fellow, National Center for Inquiry & Improvement  \n◗ Jeff Webster, Director of Research, Trellis Company  \nWe would also like to thank the participating colleges and their students for sharing their perspectives through the survey administrations and interviews. Without these voices, we would not be able to demonstrate how students are experiencing these issues at a national level.  \nThis report is dedicated to the many students who, against all odds, continue to attend college to make better lives for themselves and their families.  \nThe findings and conclusions contained within are those of CCCSE and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of ECMC Foundation or The Kresge Foundation.© 2022.
