About Us

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. We also welcome you to the Basic Needs Hub located on the 4th floor of the Viking Union and hope you will spend time in our space taking a break from your day, catching up on homework or participating in a workshop.

The Basic Needs office works with students experiencing basic needs insecurities and connects students to resources and support.
