With a shortage of such housing, a number of students are housing insecure or homeless. LuMin is working to respond to this need in our community. Our initiatives for 2025-2026 include:
- Subsidizing housing for students in the 2025-2026 school year and beyond
This year, we've placed 22 financially challenged students in affordable housing and are providing additional assistance with a grant to subsidize the cost of rent. In addition, we provide mentors from the Fort Collins community and establish peer support groups.
- After several years of studying student housing insecurity and offering limited support, we hope to:
identify, recognize, and listen to this often invisible population
surround students with peer and community support
continue to learn from students what is needed to respond to long-term student housing insecurity
continue to partner with Colorado State University and the Fort Collins community in responding to this need
- ON HOLD: Free access to LuMin's washers and dryers--THIS PROGRAM IS ON PAUSE AND WILL BE STARTED AGAIN SOON.
Low-income students can schedule a time to bring over laundry to wash clothes and have access to snacks, showers, and WiFi while they wait.
