Abstract	There has been more attention to insecurity among college students for basic needs (e.g., Miles, McBeath, Brockett, & Sorenson, 2017; Morris, Smith, Davis, & Null, 2016); however, published research on student food insecurity and housing insecurity remains sparse. It is critical to understand the prevalence of these challenges because they are associated with mental health functioning, academic success, and graduation rates (see Goldrick-Rab, Richardson, Schneider, Hernandez, & Cady, 2018). Prior studies (Miles et al., 2017; Tsui et al., 2011) point to high co-occurrence of food insecurity and homelessness, so the intersection of these challenges should be explored. To prevent basic needs insecurity and offer appropriate support for those who are affected, we must understand correlates of college food insecurity and student homelessness. The purpose of this investigation was to answer questions of prevalence, co-occurrence, and correlates of food insecurity and homelessness. A feature of this study was the examination of the degree to which cumulative marginalized/minoritized characteristics predicted food insecurity and homelessness. Cumulative risk models, in which risks that tend to cluster together are equally weighted, are widely used in developmental psychology and have advantages over studies of single predictors of outcomes (Ashworth & Humphrey, 2019; Evans, Li, & Whipple, 2013); to date, such models have not been applied to studies of student food insecurity or student homelessness, even though predictors tend to be correlated (Crutchfield & McGuire, 2019).
