104%

There will be a report today at the Regents on student housing (and possibly the unveiling of legislation as discussed in our prior posts). 

From the Executive Summary of the report on housing:

Demand for affordable student housing at the University of California is a priority throughout the system. Campuses assess and implement the most cost-effective methods to provide new housing. There are various options for developing housing, which include campus delivery and public private partnerships (or P3s). Throughout the system, the goal is to provide rents that are below the local market rate, while demonstrating financial feasibility under challenging conditions. New students receive information about the housing application process upon completing the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). Application deadlines vary by campus but typically fall within several days after the final SIR deadline. For students experiencing housing insecurity, the primary forms of campus-based support focus on housing vouchers, emergency on-campus housing, financial assistance, and case management...

The report indicates that most campuses are at, near, or above capacity in housing students. Over all campuses, UC reports being at 104% of capacity. From Table 2 of the report:

[2] Capacity is the number of beds a space is designed to accommodate. Occupancy is the actual number of beds in the space.
[3] Fall enrollment at a glance and University of California Washington Center (UCDC). Note: The actual footnote in the report includes a non-working link.
