The Blum Center Student Leader Team is pleased to present The People’s Guide to UCSB’s Housing Crisis, which examines the current state of UCSB student housing and what can be done to address it. They are presenting this guide at their in-person Campus Housing Forum and Q&A session this Thursday.
In the aftermath of Munger Hall’s cancellation, and amidst soaring housing costs, it is essential to identify how our campus community can move forward in a manner that prioritizes undergraduate and graduate student housing.
The People’s Guide to UCSB’s Housing Crisis argues that private interests have had an outsized influence in determining the development of public university housing. The Guide also introduces the role of private finance and housing investment within the UC-system, alternative housing options, and existing campus housing resources, among other critical topics, as part of a broader discussion to address our campus community’s urgent need for housing. This Guide can be viewed as a website or PDF and may be shared widely.
