Rep. Barragán Celebrates $1,000,000 in Federal Funding for Long Beach City College Student Housing

LONG BEACH, CA – Today, Congresswoman Nanette Barragán (CA-44) celebrated $1,000,000 in federal funding she secured for Long Beach City College (LBCC) to build the North Long Beach Student Housing and Higher Education Complex. 

The funding will support the development of a mixed-use complex with affordable student housing, a large multipurpose community room, study rooms, shared kitchens, and support services on site. Housing will be available to low-income LBCC students at an affordable rent and open to students with dependents.

“Low-income college students often worry about balancing the cost of tuition, housing, and other essential needs,” said Rep. Barragán.  “I was proud to secure this funding so Long Beach City College students, including those with children, can access affordable housing while they pursue their higher education. By building this complex in North Long Beach, educational resources and other services will be more accessible to students who do not live near campus.”
