Unofficial! Not a government website, and not your ballot. We're just the Voter Guider people. What that means

Student housing at community colleges

“The L.A. Community College District should build affordable housing for its students.”

Where candidates stand on this statement, based only on what they or a cited source have said.

LAist asked every candidate how the district should improve housing security; this is about building housing, not referrals or emergency aid. Supporters say students can't finish school without stable housing; skeptics worry about costs and taking money from classrooms.

Says the district should compete hard for state student-housing grants and build on its land.
