Student who:


·   Is living in place that is not intended for long term human habitation: a trailer/RV/tent/car/boat/garage/storage shed/treehouse/barn/loft

·   Is staying somewhere with “lots of garbage,” broken-out windows, black mold infestation, pest infestations- like rats or bugs, unsafe areas (physically or psychologically)

·   Is living in overcrowded spaces- like an entire family in one bedroom of a shared house, or having to sleep on the floor or couch in someone’s living room, finding out there are 10 people in a two-bedroom apartment, etc…

·   Has moved in with someone after losing their own place and not sure how long they can stay, or staying with someone without being on the lease (jeopardizing that person’s housing and sneaking in and out so neighbors don’t report it or the landlord doesn’t find out). Can’t get mail there is another indicator. (These situations are often reported as “living with grandparents” or “living with friends.”)

·   Has been reported as a “runaway,” or students who tell you they have been “kicked-out,” or “don’t want to live at home,” and are now staying with others, couch-surfing, or have nowhere to sleep. This includes those on an ARY order.

·   Is staying at a temporary shelter, a motel/hotel/Air B&B, or is sleeping outside.


 

These should be reported first to the KIT Building Point Person at your building, and then they will notify the KIT office to be officially screened in for adding to the program.
