Tacoma Community College Housing Assistance Program > Grand Salon A, Section 4, 1st Floor<br />

OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES<br />

In 2014 Tacoma Community College (TCC) and the<br />

Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) launched a pilot<br />

program to house up to 25 homeless TCC enrolled<br />

students and their dependents. One barrier to student<br />

success is housing and most homeless students drop out.<br />

Results to date are promising. The initial program is for<br />

three years; after two years, THA and TCC will be seeking<br />

to expand the program enrollment. We believe this is a<br />

win-win opportunity for students, addressing one of many<br />

barriers students face today.<br />
