In an effort to address homelessness among students, the State University of New York (SUNY) System will designate a staff member on every campus to assist students experiencing homelessness. Beginning this fall, each of SUNY’s 64 campuses will designate a liaison to serve as a point person for students with homes. The liaison will connect students to resources and help ensure that they have access to the stable housing necessary for them to excel in their studies.
