Abstract	Higher education offers many benefits to individuals and society--including increased employment opportunities and higher wages--and can help disrupt cycles of intergenerational poverty by improving economic outcomes for those who earn postsecondary credentials. Public community and technical colleges offer a relatively affordable, open-access option for students seeking higher education. Community colleges also provide an array of services to support students along their educational journey, and it is increasingly evident that basic needs supports should be among the services offered. Food insecurity, housing insecurity, and other basic needs insecurities are prevalent among community and technical college students in Washington. In response to these needs, United Way of King County (UWKC) launched the Bridge to Finish campaign to implement a successful basic needs delivery model, provide these services to current students, build evidence to influence policy, and contribute knowledge to the broader conversation on the benefits of a culture of care for community and technical college students. This report shares insights from the collaborative study by providing information on characteristics of Bridge to Finish participants, patterns of service receipt, and rates of successful academic outcomes. The report highlights ways to help Bridge to Finish and other similar programs prepare for a rigorous impact evaluation. (ERIC).
