Supporting Student Success by Ensuring Basic Needs Security for All
Basic needs includes, but are not limited to, food and housing, clothing, childcare, mental health, financial resources and transportation. At some point in your educational journey, you may face challenges in accessing adequate amounts of food, housing, financial or other resources. This is called basic needs insecurity and millions of college students experience it each year. To ensure that basic needs are met for all UH students, a list of on-campus resources and those available in the surrounding community are listed below.
