نام في سيارته.. واليوم تغيرت حياته

Parking lot N at Long Beach City College may seem like an ordinary place in California, but it held completely different meanings for Edgar Rosales Jr., the student who found himself homeless, turning his old car into a bedroom and study.

15 Survival Spots

The college designated 15 parking spots on campus as a temporary solution for students without shelter. This program, despite its simplicity, changed the lives of Edgar and his peers, opening a window of hope for them.

Studying from the Backseat

Every night, as the sun set, Edgar would park his car and begin his study journey by the light of his computer screen. The space was tight, but the ambition was wide enough to endure.

Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness

This pilot program helped reduce the dropout rate among homeless students, providing them with a relatively safe environment to continue their education without the fear of sleeping on the street.

Hope for Replication

The success of the program in Long Beach City could serve as a model for other American colleges, amidst rising homelessness in America due to a housing crisis affecting many students across the United States.
