The\u00a0Post Secondary Student Homelessness (PSSH) in Canada project<\/a>\u00a0reports that about 5% of youth (17-24) post-secondary students face various forms of homelessness and housing insecurity each year.\u00a0This includes precarious or unsheltered living situations, including living with friends or family temporarily, couch surfing, staying in a hotel or Airbnb, or living in unsheltered situations, such as sleeping in a campus building that was not a living space, in their vehicle, or outside\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 快播视频, for the students who identified having unstable housing in the 2025 Canadian Campus Wellness Survey<\/a>, 75% identified they had considered dropping out or deferring their education due to housing-related financial stress and 45% identified having to sleep outside, in a shelter, or in a place not meant for sleeping over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
