College should be about classes, community, and chasing big goals — not worrying about where you’ll sleep or how you’ll eat. 💚

Cal Poly Humboldt’s Basic Needs program steps in when life hits hard. The program provides temporary housing, meal swipes, emergency financial support through the Basic Needs Grant & Housing Access Grant, and one-on-one connections to critical community resources. These aren’t “extras.” They are the difference between a student stopping out — or staying enrolled and earning a degree. 💛

As the cost of attendance climbs and more first-generation, transfer, and non-traditional students choose Humboldt, too many can cover tuition but struggle to afford food, housing, and everyday essentials. That gap is real — and it’s growing.

Support is expanding to meet the need:

🏠 Temporary housing assistance

🍽️ Additional meal swipes for students without reliable access to food

🧺 Laundry vouchers to support dignity and well-being

🧴 Hygiene kits for students facing financial strain

When basic needs are met, students can focus, persist, and graduate. It’s that simple.

Your gift today goes directly to students navigating unexpected challenges — helping them stay on track, feel supported, and truly belong at Cal Poly Humboldt. 💚💛
