One of our more ambitious goals is the creation of affordable college dorms and emergency shelters for low-income students.  Recent various studies and surveys put the number of college students affected by housing insecurity and homelessness in the thousands.

H.O.S.T. is shaking and challenging the comforting thought that all students can afford food and rent. Students at University of San Diego’ s H.O.S.T. chapter, make a huge impact on their campus with VERY successful food drives. As a result, USD is now the first university in the country with multiple free food pantries on its campus.
