LBCC Builds First Campus Housing | Long Beach News

Long Beach City College is building its first-ever on-campus housing, a $127 million, 431-bed complex opening in fall 2028, with studios, dorms, and shared spaces — a historic move aimed at tackling student homelessness and housing insecurity. With nearly 12% of students reporting homelessness last year, the college is expanding support beyond safe parking to offer affordable, stable living options, including dozens more units in North Long Beach by 2029. Advocates like Edgar Rosales Jr. see this as transformative — reducing commute stress, cutting costs, and normalizing housing aid for students who’ve faced it too long.
