Basic Needs Resources
Emergency and Housing funding assistance will not be available until Fall Quarter 2026. The funding application will be available in the 3rd week of the fall quarter. An announcement will go out when the application opens. Please continue to connect with our Basic Needs Navigator for resource/basic need navigation. You can find this information below.
These are resources to help you manage your basic needs like housing, food and finances while in school. If you are experiencing challenges meeting your basic needs and need help beyond what the resources you find here, you can:
- Make an appointment with the United Way Benefits Hub.
- Visit the Opportunity Center on campus; it is a resource center with many services under one roof and assistance to help you find community resources.
If you have an emergent need such as a bill or rent you cannot pay or you have no money for food, you can seek Emergency Cash Assistance from the NSC Financial Aid Office.
