Our Mission
The Hub Basic Needs Center’s mission is to address the gaps and concerns students have with accessing nutritious food, stable housing, and financial wellness resources. We are committed to equitably minimizing basic needs challenges for all students.
Our Vision
We strive to increase equitable access to food, housing, and financial wellness resources for all students by breaking down barriers and engaging in transformative dialogues surrounding students’ basic needs so they can focus on their academic success contributing to holistic well-being.
Our Community
We are thankful for all the iterations of leadership, full-time staff, student staff, volunteers, and others who engage in basic needs work by dedicating their time and energy to a more basic needs secure campus.
Since our installment, the involvement of the Basic Needs ecosystem has been ever evolving. We are carrying out a charge of priorities set for Basic Needs security so that each UC San Diego student has the opportunity to focus on their academic excellence.
We want to emphasize that students experiencing basic need challenges on a college campus is NOT normal. These needs exist due to systemic and institutional inequities which students face when transitioning into UCSD and during their time on campus.
At Basic Needs, we acknowledge that these are challenges students are facing and it is YOUR BASIC HUMAN RIGHT to have access to these services.
Our mission is to serve registered UC San Diego students with humanity, offer referrals to on and off campus resources based on their Basic Needs to increase accessibility to housing, food, and financial resources.
We are here for you!
