We're here to help. Watch this video to learn more about the programs and resources we provide for food security, housing resources, and financial wellness for current UC San Diego students!
We got the Basics covered!
Basic Needs refers to the most essential resources required to thrive as a student, which includes access to nutritious food, stable housing, and financial wellness resources.
At The Hub Basic Needs Center (The Hub), we provide resource referrals for registered UC San Diego students from a collective of on campus program collaborations and off-campus program partnerships in the greater San Diego area.
