Students unable to find affordable housing near university campuses, forced into unsafe living situations

College students in high cost-of-living areas are unable to afford market-rate housing and resort to sleeping in garages, cars, and other unsafe accommodations. Current housing solutions (dorms, off-campus rentals) are either full, unaffordable, or unavailable, leaving students with no viable options. This creates health, safety, and academic performance risks while students are already financially stressed.
