The Basic Needs Center supports students’ holistic wellbeing through a set of essential programs and services.

About us

The Basic Needs Center acts as a virtual and physical hub to support students in their journey to access essential services that impact health, belonging, and overall well-being. The Basic Needs Center team is committed to fostering belonging and justice on the UC Berkeley campus through a robust model of education, prevention and emergency relief efforts addressing holistic needs. We define basic needs as an ecosystem that includes: financial stability; nutritious and sufficient food; safe, secure and adequate housing; accessible and equitable health/medical care, technology and transportation. The BNC is located in the lower-level of the MLK Student Union and provides services in person and virtually. All students including undergraduate, graduate, international and undocumented students are eligible for Basic Needs Center resources and services.
