MCTC Homelessness Survey


Two students groups at MCTC, Wellness Advocates for You (WAY) and Students against Hunger and Homelessness (SAHH) have joined together in the effort to identify students who are lacking the basic tools to succeed, like food and shelter.  We are conducting a survey to identify how many students (approximately) need these resources. Students, we would greatly appreciate your help by having you fill this out - even if you haven't experienced a lack of shelter or food. We are trying to get a representative sample of our student body. Our ultimate goal is to create resources that would help our students in need succeed. Thank you!
