Keep checking this site for updates and to give your opinion on the updated plans. Last year, the ASUC External Affairs Office conducted two surveys, one on housing, and the second on Telegraph business and campus safety. This figure is about 1800 students. 78 percent of students who have a car are inclined to live in C.A.L. housing without a car. Students who live in Berkeley are significantly less likely to have a car and drive to campus.
Students are more likely to say they live to far from campus.
Underrepresented minorities are also more likely to consider their housing is unlivable, and less likely to have access to a car. Students would like later hours on Telegraph Avenue. The ASUC CHSL will work with the City of Berkeley, UC Berkeley, the University Student s Cooperatives Association, and other government entities, and private and non-profit organizations to ensure that there is enough housing and affordable housing for Berkeley students. We are currently working with officials to build more housing in the Underhill Area and other university surface parking lots, the vacant lot at the corner of Durant and Fulton, and a mixed-use development at the vacant lot at the corner of Haste and Telegraph. The ASUC CHSL will explore applying to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the City of Berkeley, and several non-profit entities to secure loans or grants to provide affordable housing for the campus community.
