Until recently, the data  \nneeded to understand their experiences simply did not exist.  \nThe Student Financial Wellness Survey (SFWS) is an established survey  \ndeveloped and administered by Trellis Strategies. For the fall 2025 survey,  \nNew America’s Higher Education program partnered with Trellis to add a  \nset of questions on housing insecurity for caregiving students, producing  \nsome of the only data available that directly examines how this population  \nexperiences housing insecurity. What those students told us reveals a  \nset of challenges that are urgent, underappreciated, and actionable for  \ninstitutions, states, and federal policymakers willing to act.  \nHousing insecurity for caregiving college students extends beyond access  \nalone. Students who moved three or more times in the past year most  \ncommonly did so out of necessity, not choice. While some moved to be  \ncloser to school, many moves were driven by unaffordable rent or unsafe  \nliving conditions. The data also show disparities across age, race, and  \ninstitution type. Older caregiving students aged 25 or more were more  \nthan twice as likely as younger students to move because they could not  \nafford rent. Black and Hispanic caregiving students reported moving for  \naffordability and safety reasons at higher rates than their white peers, and  \nstudents attending two-year colleges had higher rates than those at four  \nyear institutions.  \nA major barrier to stability is both a lack of awareness and a shortage of  \navailable resources. Nearly three-quarters of caregiving students did not  \nknow they could request additional institutional assistance for housing  \ncosts. Just 3 percent of caregiving students asked for and received aid to  \n[newamerica.org/insights/no-place-to-land-housing-insecurity-among-caregiving-college-students](newamerica.org/insights/no-place-to-land-housing-insecurity-among-caregiving-college-students) 3  \nsupport their housing needs. Awareness gaps were more pronounced  \namong first-generation students, women, and those experiencing basic  \nneeds insecurity.  \nHousing discrimination also remains a real and racialized barrier. Nearly  \none in 10 caregiving students experiencing basic needs insecurity reported  \nfacing discrimination in the housing market. Black caregiving students  \nwere nearly twice as likely as white students to experience discrimination,  \nfurther limiting their access to safe and stable housing.  \nThese survey findings point to opportunities for action at every level of the  \nhi","cbCaiahXOkgO8Je6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiahXOkgO8Je6","pdf",9174839,22,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Framing the Issue: Housing Insecurity and the Caregiving Student Experience\n## Key Findings: What Caregiving Students Are Telling Us\n## What These Findings Tell Us\n## Two Ways Federal Higher Education Policy Can Help Close the Gaps\n## Two Ways State Higher Education Policy Can Help Close the Gaps\n## Two Ways Colleges and Universities Can Close The Gaps\n## Conclusion\n## Appendix: Survey Methodology\n## Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"How does housing insecurity affect caregiving college students beyond simply lacking access?\",\"answer\":\"The report finds instability often comes from necessity rather than choice, with many moves tied to unaffordable rent or unsafe living conditions.
