Emergency Housing, Food, and Financial Resources for Undergraduates at California¡¯s Public Colleges and Universities

The California Homeless Youth Project compiled lists of basic needs resources that California¡¯s public colleges

and universities offer to undergraduates in order to make these resources more accessible. Basic needs resources

include emergency housing, programs targeting students experiencing housing insecurity, programs targeting

foster youth, free groceries, free prepared meals, on-campus CalFresh application assistance, emergency grants,

and short-term loans. The 50 California Community College campuses, 23 California State University campuses,

and 9 University of California campuses included in these lists are the same campuses examined in a CHYP

report, Measuring Our Success: Campus Supports for College Students Experiencing Food & Housing Insecurity.

Information on basic needs resources was collected primarily from campus websites between October 2019 and

January 2020. Eligibility for basic needs resources varies by campus and by program; students should reach out to

campus staff to determine if they are eligible for specific programs, services, and resources.

ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA HOMELESS YOUTH PROJECT

The California Homeless Youth Project (CHYP) is a multi-year research and policy initiative of the California Research

Bureau and the California State Library. The CHYP highlights issues and solutions for youth ages 12 to 24 who are

living ¡°on the edge¡± of homelessness or are currently homeless in California. In particular, the CHYP engages these

youth directly in research and policy discussions, giving voice to their experiences and recommendations as well as

those of researchers, practitioners and policy experts. The CHYP is supported by funding from The California Wellness

Foundation and the Walter S. Johnson Foundation.
