Money (May Be) Coming

From EdSource: A handful of community colleges and universities are on the shortlist to possibly receive the state’s first batch of affordable student housing grants.

California’s Department of Finance, in a letter to the Legislature on Tuesday, recommended that five community colleges, UCLA, UC San Diego, San Francisco State and San Diego State receive a piece of nearly $480 million to create affordable housing for 3,545 students. The community colleges are Imperial Valley, Fresno City, College of the Siskiyous, Ventura and Sierra colleges.*

The final list will be approved by the state Legislature by June...

• UC San Diego would receive $100 million for 1,100 additional beds. • UCLA would receive $35 million for 358 more beds...
