IIRC, this is not the first time Stanford accepted a homeless student. Some 15 (?) years ago or so, another homeless girl was accepted. I believe she was from somewhere in CA. I first read about it in a local paper and, later, Stanford Magazine had a story on her Stanford experience.

It was closer to 30 years ago. She was in the same dorm as the son of a friend of mine. She and her family had been living in a homeless shelter for a while and then her father became the handyman for the shelter. They still lived there, but I think had their own quarters. I think it was in far southern CA. I remember an interview with her when she said her dorm room in Lagunita was so quiet she had a hard time studying; she'd gotten completely accustomed to studying with her younger siblings making a racket all around her.
