A new report released shows a skyrocketing rise in the number of California college students struggling to pay for food and housing since the pandemic.
"Students at California State University (CSU), California Community Colleges (CCC), private non-profit, and private for-profit schools all reported experiencing above-average rates of food insecurity," the report stated. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
The survey, conducted in May and based on 23,687 responses, found that 53% of college students claimed to have housing insecurity and that 66% were food insecure. The results show a spike from a 2018-19 survey that found 36% of students were housing insecure and 39% food insecure. Joining Fox News Digital in 2019, he previously graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Political Science and is an alum of the National Journalism Center and the Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program.
