Rashida Crutchfield, professor in the School of Social Work and Executive Director for the Center for Equitable Higher Education at Cal State Long Beach, was interviewed by Spectrum News1 SoCal about a report she co-authored evaluating College Focused Rapid Rehousing program: a new method addressing student homelessness. Crutchfield's evaluation of the innovative approach found students participating in CFRR had a significantly higher probability of staying in school or graduating than students who received short-term housing assistance. The report was also reported on by Inside Higher Ed.
