The Kentucky Student Success Collaborative convened the Student Basic Needs Action Network and Community of Practice in spring 2023 to identify challenges and opportunities among campus and community partners to increase access to basic needs supports for students and increase access to postsecondary education for individuals receiving public benefits.

The action network and community of practice include stakeholders across the Commonwealth coming together to share their work, discuss challenges, build a network, and improve practice with the common goal of improving student success.
