Mission Statement
Housing One Student at a Time, Inc. assists with providing safe and adequate housing in order to enhance students’ overall college experience. As an organization, we make it our mission to foster growth and educational development for college students in need.
Description
Over 58,000 college students have inadequate housing, which actually turns out to be pretty "expensive". Homelessness for college students can costs them their social life, their self-respect, and most times their degree.
Housing One Student At a Time (H.O.S.T) is an organization with an attempt to decrease the number of homeless 4-year college students. It is our goal to help these students relieve the stress of finding and keeping housing so that they may put their focus elsewhere-- graduating and finding a career.
Some programs and services that we seek to provide are: scholarships, the H.O.S.T supply, financial planning workshops, housing placement assistance, career workshops and assistance, the H.O.S.T Family Network, and a housing/living community.
