United Way Benefits Hub

The Benefits Hub connects you with community resources!

Balancing work, life, and college isn’t easy. That’s why we’ve partnered with the United Way of King County’s Benefits Hub program to help students navigate financial challenges and find resources for basic needs while in school. The Benefits Hub provides one-on-one coaching to assist students in the following areas:

• Applying for Emergency financial grants
• Access to groceries & SNAP/EBT enrollment
• Navigating housing assistance programs
• Enrolling in Utility bill discount programs
• Applying for transportation discounts (ORCA Lift)
• Referrals to free financial coaching
• Financial coaching
• Mental health & wellness referrals
• And more, including .... free tax preparation, health insurance enrollment, financial aid application advice, and legal counsel referrals

We work with you to find resources so you can stay in school, complete your program, and reach your goals!
