Housing navigation strengthens student well-being

With support from a $333,000 Colorado Trust grant secured through FLC Foundation efforts, FLC launched a 30-month initiative in the Fall of 2024 to address student housing insecurity. Amanda Pollack, FLC’s first community housing navigation coordinator, provides holistic support, from emergency housing and landlord mediation to SNAP assistance and budgeting help. 

She’s also building partnerships with local nonprofits and coalitions to expand affordable housing options off campus. 

“When students gain the confidence to advocate for themselves, that’s when the real change happens,” Amanda said. 

This donor-funded work ensures students can focus on learning—because stability fuels success.
