Connect with Housing Partners

The Basic Needs Center and Community Housing Partners will be available to meet with students experiencing housing insecurity on Tuesday, November 19, from 9-11 a.m. in the Student Lounge.

Stop by to consult with various programs to see what support is available. Please note that some cases may need follow-up appointments as all housing is a case-by-case basis and needs individual attention. Light refreshments will be provided for those who attend.
