The purpose of this brief is to understand what types of supportive services are being provided across community colleges in the ACE-UP community of practice, what challenges college staff and partners have faced, and where opportunities exist to advance equity through the provision of supportive services. Improving the accessibility of supportive services, using innovative funding approaches to ensure sustainability, and leveraging institutional and community partnerships to provide wraparound services are examples of ways community colleges have continued to increase momentum on existing strategies to reduce equity gaps and promote student success.
