UC Basic Needs helps University of California students find essential-needs resources across UC campuses. Browse services for food, housing, financial support, health and wellbeing, family assistance, legal support, care coordination, technology, transportation, off-campus referrals, and other student support needs. Filter by campus and category, review service details, save useful resources, and share information when a student or supporter needs it.
