END HUNGER
Addressing Food Insecurity
By addressing the social determinants of student success, schools can improve student achievement in the classroom, boost enrollment and retention, and increase professional growth.
Single Stop and the Colorado Department of Higher Education both share similar missions in aiming to close the equity gap. In addition, institutions prioritizing achieving the Hunger Free Campus designation already understand the importance of helping students succeed outside the classroom. Some of the Hunger Free goals Single Stop can help customers achieve are outlined below.
Economic
Mobility Program
Colorado Department of Higher Education has allocated a portion of its grant funding to provide college learners gain access to needed federal and state benefits through online platforms. Coloradoʼs collaboration with Single Stop is one propelled by shared values of helping individuals with the very human need of finding resources for food, housing, and economic instability. For this collaboration, CDHE will provide assistance in subsidizing the cost of obtaining Single Stop licensing for higher institutions statewide.

Studies done by third-party corporations showcased that colleges that implemented Single Stop programs had significantly higher student persistence (continued enrollment or completion of higher education) in the consecutive subsequent semesters. Most notably, first-time college students who utilized Single Stop services were 9.6% more likely to persist than their peers. The Rand Corporation study was conducted for one academic year, while Metis Associates studied data over three and a half academic years.
