In California, one in three community college students is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://cceal.org/food-housing-report/\">recent report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a nationwide problem,” Tse said, “and we feel we’re doing our small part to inspire others to show that it’s possible to do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shelter is set up in the back of a Lutheran church in Santa Monica and is open to students from all colleges in the area. It opens at 7 p.m., when church meetings or AA gatherings wrap up in the main hall, and shelter volunteers start cooking and set up a table for dinner. Residents hang out on their beds -- there are two windowless bunk rooms, one for men, one for women -- doing their homework, or they watch TV in the lounge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11211335\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11211335 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"rs23243_img_2146\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-1180x885.jpeg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-960x720.jpeg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-240x180.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-375x281.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23243_IMG_2146-520x390.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shelter residents and student volunteers sit and eat dinner together every night, \"like a family,\" Tse said.
