Emergency Housing

Emergency Housing Overview

The goal of the Basic Needs Center Emergency Housing program is to provide short-term emergency housing to students who are homeless or at imminent risk of losing their housing. Emergency housing is for students who are in situations that include:

  • safety concerns

  • unforeseen and unplanned housing disruptions including displacement and eviction

  • other crisis situations

  • living in public or places not intended for habitation (vehicle, park, etc)

Eligibility

Emergency housing is available to currently enrolled UC Berkeley students (graduate, undergraduate, international, etc.)
