The bi-partisan bill AB 2784 creates an emergency student housing loan program at 3 CSU campuses.
Assembly Member Dr. Aramubla said we must support students dealing with emergency housing issues.
Assembly Member Caballero says 10% of Cal State students experience homelessness, and “we need them to graduate for the future of the state.”
The bill would provide a semester loan for housing, to be forgiven if students complete classes.
