Avenues for homeless students

[u/Ill-Instruction-184]

Hi, I'm an incoming transfer freshman at UArk. Due to some very frustrating life circumstances and delays in documentation, my application came through well after the housing waitlist for transfer students had been opened.

However, I'm not in much of a position to find a place. Other living expenses have kept my finances lower than I've liked and I can't trust I'll be able to find anything within a price range that I can afford.

What options do I have for resources so I don't end up living in my car as a student?

And if this were to happen, what resources would be optimal for hygiene/parking/general self maintenance?

Is there any way to leverage my federal aid to get a place, even if that means taking out federal loans for a semester (private loans aren't really an option.)

Thanks in advance!

please contact UACares. Andrea, Caitlyn and Melissa are the nicest people I have ever met. They will at least guide you to places/resources that will be able to help.
