Homeless students, alas, are not that uncommon at American universities.  The student body president at my place of work was living out of her car for a time.

She helped publicize the issue and we have done a much better job identifying who these students are and trying to get them help.  Stats are hard to come by, but at least dozens.  I personally have known several of them.

Homelessness among current Stanford students is probably non existent, due to the effective financial aid and housing systems.

Homelessness among Stanford's admitted applicants provides some heart warming anecdotes, but it should not obscure the fact that Stanford and the other elites continue to have a poor record, relative to the publics, of economic diversity.  Lots and lots of complex reasons for that of course, but Stanford hovers around 15% on both Pell grant recipients and first gen college students.
