Basic Needs Emergency Program

At CSUSB, we prioritize our students' well-being by providing access to essential resources, including:

• Immediate food assistance
• Financial assistance
• Short-term emergency housing
• Connecting students with additional resources and support on campus and in your community

Help When It Matters Most

To help our students in need, CSUSB has implemented several Coyote Basic Needs resources. The Obershaw DEN, the PDC DEN, emergency housing, and the emergency grant program assist students when needed most. 

• The Obershaw DEN and PDC DEN serve to assist CSUSB students who face food insecurity or scarcity.
• The Obershaw DEN and PDC DEN are only available to currently enrolled CSUSB students, including undergraduate, credential, graduate, and doctoral students.
