Lion's Path Housing
Students deserve a safe place to call home
Moreno Valley College’s Lion’s Path Housing program provides safe, stable housing and personalized support for students experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.
No matter your situation, allow MVC to provide tailored support — judgement free.
Who We Serve
Lion’s Path Housing supports MVC students facing homelessness or unstable housing, particularly transitional-age youth and young adults from 18 - 24 years old.
If you are couch-surfing, living temporarily with others, or at risk of losing your housing, this program can help you find stability and support as you continue your education.
