Basic Needs

As a student, it’s not always easy meeting basic needs while attending school and often working and/or taking care of a family.  Students face numerous barriers to food, housing, health, and other needs that are crucial to academic and personal success.  Several programs at North, and in the community, can help address needs like making sure you have food to eat, help paying for emergencies, keeping a roof over your head, and more as you continue your educational journey.
