Due to COVID-19, students are facing new challenges in meeting their basic needs. Responding to those challenges has become even more difficult with budgetary constraints and working remotely.

Debbie Raucher, Director of Education at JBAY, presented “Bringing Students Home - Partnering to Address Homelessness among College Students.”
