9:10 am – 10:00 am
Our local community is in a housing crisis. How does this impact our students and what resources are available? We will begin with a powerful 5-minute video produced by a student while he was in our Digital Media Audio Cinema program about his experience being unhoused in Lansing. There is an intricate network of housing support to meet many different needs but navigating the system is difficult. We will share resources to address these needs: the decision tree developed by the LCC Housing Insecurity Workgroup to guide success coaches’ conversations with students facing different levels of housing insecurity, an information sheet from the community agency currently designated as centralized intake for Ingham County describing the different shelters and wrap up with a video visit to a residential substance abuse transition house in our community.
