Center for Essential Needs
Housing Resources
Students experiencing housing insecurity can meet with our housing navigator, who provides focused support to:
- Help you find housing that is right for you and your budget.
- Assess housing readiness and create a stability plan.
- Help gather necessary documents (ID, income verification, etc.).
- Assist with budgeting and savings.
- Connect you to housing programs, emergency shelters, and rental assistance.
- Communicate with landlords or agencies on your behalf when needed
The housing navigator plays a key role in bridging campus support with community-based housing solutions, ensuring students receive compassionate, informed, and timely support during periods of housing instability.
All financial support provided will be reported to Financial Aid and may affect your cost of attendance, unless it has been designated by Financial Aid as emergency assistance.
