XL Construction Partners with HomeAid

XL Construction to Partner with HomeAid on a Micro Home Village for Homeless College Students

HomeAid Northern California is excited to partner with Firm Foundation Community Housing and Richard Walker and the team at XL Construction on our 12-unit Micro Home Project located in Hayward.  This project, expected to be constructed in 2023, will focus on adding Bay Area housing for students that are experiencing housing insecurity. The rising cost of rent has become a struggle for students in every part of California’s educational system. In a survey conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, about 10% of students, including 20% of post-doctoral students, said they had experienced homelessness.  The crisis hits hardest at California’s community colleges, which enroll nearly 2 million students each year, making them the largest system of higher education in the country. The survey found that 20% of community college students had experienced homelessness in the past year, and 60% had experienced some kind of housing insecurity.
