Basic Needs

CSUN with A HEART is a collection of various resources regarding the basic needs of students in the campus community. The California State University Basic Needs Initiative and CSUN provide resources for food, housing, financial support, mental & physical well-being, and communities of support.

Visit the CSUN with A Heart website.

The CSUN Food Pantry provides emergency nourishment and basic toiletries for free to enrolled students, faculty, and staff in need. No proof of need is required with simple, fast, and confidential service. Bring proof of campus affiliation such as a CSUN ID or your myCSUNprofile.

Located at Laurel Hall (next to Sagebrush Hall).

The HEAL Project assists diverse and underrepresented student communities by providing safe spaces to explore individual potential barriers while integrating healing-centered engagement to foster positive well-being and promote self-efficacy.

They do not provide therapy, rather they connect CSUN at-promise students with resources they need to thrive in college and promote student success.
