Resource Navigation Services
Our Resource Navigation Service provides personalized, one-on-one assistance for students navigating essential resource barriers that can impact overall wellness and academic success.
What is Resource Navigation?
Resource Navigation is a 1:1 confidential support service where a Basic Needs staff member will:
-
Listen to what you’re experiencing and what you need
-
Help you identify options
-
Connect you to the right offices and programs
-
Help you understand what documents may be needed (if any)
- Support you with referrals and follow-up
Together, we will assess your situation and connect you to a tailored network of both campus and community resources. These resources are designed to support your access to food, stable housing, transportation, technology, and hygiene products, and, mental health services.
Important note: We can help you apply and gather resources, but we do not determine eligibility for public benefits.
