In spring 2025, The RP Group partneredwith the Community College League of California’s Chief Executive Officers (CEO) Affordability, Food & Housing Access Taskforce to assess trends in food and housing security among California community college (CCC) students. This report summarizes responses from nearly 77,000 students from 102 colleges who responded to the 2025 RealCollege California survey, revealing that two-thirds of CCC students face at least one form of basic needs insecurity. Specifically, 46% reported being food insecure, 58% reported being housing insecure, and 20% reported experiencing homelessness.
