City Council to give $2 million to help Columbus State students struggling with housing

When TaVonna Wilson decided to enroll at Columbus State Community College in 2020, almost two decades after graduating from high school, her housing situation was top of mind. "How do I go to school, work full time and find safe, affordable housing for my girls?" Wilson asked herself. Wilson was able to get help through the Success Bridge Housing Stabilization program, which supports Columbus State students who face housing insecurity or homelessness. In February 2021, Wilson and her daughters moved into a three-bedroom apartment through the program, removing a burden that stops many college students from completing their degrees.
