Abstract
ABSTRACT Our study interrogates the relationship between basic needs – food and housing – and wellbeing among students at a small state university in Pennsylvania. Also examined were differential risks by race, gender, ethnicity, and degree type sought. Our study of food security demonstrated that 36.5% of students were food insecure, a rate three times the national rate, and 40.2% of students were housing insecure. Housing and food insecurity were correlated with overall wellbeing needs not being met. We argue that food and housing insecurity among college students is not sufficiently understood or addressed in policy. Innovative responses to these problems are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
