For students who have spent time in jail, it’s extra difficult to secure housing. Yet having a home, with space to study and supportive roommates, can make it a lot easier for these students to succeed.

We talk with a student whose college path was transformed by a house for formerly incarcerated students and with a reporter about how this program came about.

Guests:

  • Jimmie Conner, Student, CSU Fullerton
  • Betty Márquez Rosales, Reporter, EdSource
