San Diego City College<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sdcitytimes.com\/campus-life\/2022\/03\/08\/breaking-city-college-approved-for-student-housing-planning-grant\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recently received a $344,000 grant from the state for a feasibility study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a proposed 13-story student housing building.

According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpbs.org\/news\/local\/2022\/03\/11\/state-money-affordable-housing-community-college-students\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KPBS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the rent would be below market value and the housing would be given to low-income students. Along with the $344,000 grant, Southwestern College received a $1 million grant to conduct a similar study on housing for its four South Bay campuses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student housing has recently become a priority for San Diego Community Colleges. San Diego Community College District Chancellor Carlos Turner Cortez<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/voiceofsandiego.org\/2021\/07\/09\/vosd-podcast-meet-the-new-community-college-chief\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> told Voice of San Diego<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that they could potentially make money from student housing, but that they needed funding for the project. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/opinion\/commentary\/story\/2022-03-28\/opinion-carlos-cortez-maria-nieto-senour-community-college-housing-strategy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cortez and Trustee President Maria Nieto Senour wrote an op-ed in the Union-Tribune<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about how student housing could loop the different campuses. The two wrote, \u201cwhile the SDCCD does not have significant funding to build new housing, what it does have is real estate at 10 campus locations across San Diego.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the San Diego Community College District has 36,245 students enrolled <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/app\/profile\/sdccd.institutional.reseach\/viz\/StudentProfiles-CreditColleges2021-2022Census\/Cover\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to their most recent census<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Of those students, 38% make $33,000 or more and about half make less than $33,000. Also, 62% are non-first-generation college students and 91% are already residents of San Diego. Most community college students generally prefer to continue living with their parents as most of them transfer to another school after their second year at community college. It is interesting that the Community College District would think of such an investment without fully understanding the demographics and behaviors of the students that are enrolled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: San Diego Community College District<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The community colleges in San Diego could soon be providing housing on campus.
