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 />
