The Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention supported a task force at IUPUI concerned with emergency prevention and services for students experiencing housing and/or food insecurity. Researchers from the Public Policy Institute designed, implemented, and analyzed the IUPUI Student Basic Needs survey to understand the housing and food issues experienced by IUPUI students along with the way students hear about, access, and utilize existing community and university resources.
Four basic needs areas emerged in the survey: finances, food, housing, and mental health.
