With more than more than 56,000 students self-identifing as homeless the need for solutions is a pressing issue. Chella is on location at Students For Students, a homeless shelter that services the student population. This shelter is the first of its kind on the Westside, and Chella has an exclusive interview with Louis Tse, executive director of the organization about the obstacles of #education (UCLA, Santa Monica College) housing, and the challenges of running a shelter. #StudentsForStudents
