Homelessness and Housing Support

Housing insecurity and homelessness can disrupt a student’s ability to succeed in college, leading to stress, lower performance, and a higher risk of dropping out. At Lake Land, we are committed to supporting students facing these challenges. We offer resources to help with stable housing, emergency support, and financial aid options. No student should have to choose between education and basic needs. Reach out for personalized guidance—we’re here to help you succeed.

Students have the option to pick up a bag with a variety of school-related items such as pens/pencils, notebooks, highlighters, erasers, notecards etc… Or if there is a specific item a student needs such as a binder or markers, the student is welcome to come and ask at the Testing and Tutoring Center in Webb Hall, room 130 or reach out to khunter@lakelandcollege.edu.
  • Laker Closet
    The Laker Closet is a space for any and all students in need of clothes, either casual or professional.

The closet is donation-based, however it works in partnership with local resale and donation centers. Don’t see your size or have specific clothing needs? (ex. winter coat, scrubs, etc…) Let us know at idec@lakelandcollege.edu and we can do our best to provide items. Note* fulfillment is based on availability and is not guaranteed.
