Welcome to Student Basic Needs!

Our vision is to ensure student well-being through food, housing, and economic security. Through this website, you will find resources and services on- and off-campus that you may utilize. Staff, faculty, and students can learn about on-going research and programs that impact students across California, and be up-to-date on new initiatives and events around campus addressing how USC is striving for a basic needs secure community. 

This program is open to all eligible individuals. SBN operates all of its programs and activities consistent with the University’s Notice of Non-Discrimination. Eligibility is not determined based on race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other prohibited factor.
