Among the 67 scholars, 5 earned their degrees, and 59 remained enrolled in school. Over 25k in emergency grants was provided during the year resulting in scholars staying in school and gaining access to additional resources needed to support their families including direct support from RTBs licensed social workers MSW who provided guidance through the emergency funding application process from other sources, gaining access to health care providers, food shelves, low-cost repair services and more. RTB added a full-time Managing Director to oversee programming and engaged with a third-party evaluator to collect and analyze data to measure impact and inform decision-making. In response to the affordable housing and access to basic needs among low-income single-parent students, RTB broke ground on its first affordable housing project aimed at housing 18 single-parent students while they attend school in the Sacramento area. RTB continued to support a systems-change initiative in Minnesota in collaboration with the Office of Higher Education with the purpose of educating and engaging service providers in various systems to support student parents in their pursuit of college degrees and economic mobility.
