The fed student loan pmt pause is over and a huge number of Californians are late on their loans, much more than before the pandemic. Boomers and Gen X are more often late on payments than younger folks. This comes as personal fin health is at its worst since Great Recession....that's a bad combo.
11% of California student loan borrowers are 30+ days late on making their payments, according to a new California Policy Lab fact sheet: laist.com/news/educati... #CaLeg #PersonalFinance #StudentDebt #StudentLoans #California
Californians are falling behind on student loan payments — and most ‘delinquents’ aren’t who you’d expect
Newly revealed data shows that hundreds of thousands of Californians are struggling to make their monthly student loan payments.

LA Times editorial about our homelessness prevention work.
"Janey Rountree, executive director of the California Policy Lab at UCLA, helped develop metrics that identify users of L.A. County services who may be vulnerable to falling into homelessness." www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
Editorial: Keeping at-risk residents from losing their housing will be a key to solving homelessness
It is easier and less costly to keep someone from becoming homeless than it is to help them out of the trauma of homelessness and find them permanent housing.
