About

Helping to remove barriers to college success and beyond

While the concept is simple, the impact is profound. Single Stop fosters economic mobility for families and individuals navigating low-incomes by facilitating access to safety net resources needed for higher education, good jobs, and financial self-sufficiency.

At Bunker Hill Community College, Single Stop offers students a wide array of services, including benefits screening, free tax preparation, financial counseling, mobile food pantries, health insurance assistance, and a matched savings plan. It is a consistently reliable one-stop source for invaluable information and resources related to basic needs so students can focus more on academics.

Single Stop has a proven track record of supporting students from low-wealth backgrounds, multicultural students, and adult learners to succeed in college. Through an independent evaluation, Single Stop clients were found to be more successful in college than their peers; they were more likely to persist into the next year, attempt more credits, and complete their degree programs.
