Offices in the Basic Needs Hub
The Basic Needs Hub includes The Basic Needs Office, The Office of Off Campus Living and Western Success Scholars. We are here to support you as you navigate housing, food needs, finances, and the things that adulting entails. We encourage you to make an appointment if you are in facing a basic needs emergency or have questions regarding resources.

Basic Needs and Off Campus Living
Basic Needs helps students connect to housing, food, and other essential resources. Off Campus Living helps students learn the basics of renting, rights and responsibilities as a tenant and connects students to off campus housing.
