Basic Needs Resources

Did you know about three in five college students experience insecurity related to basic needs such as food, housing, water or safety? The Dean of Students Office recognizes that meeting basic needs has become more difficult for many students, and is committed to providing assistance and support.

To ensure every student has what they need, the Dean of Students Office has developed comprehensive basic-needs resource lists covering a variety of needs, including: child care and parenting, clothing and laundry, financial stability, furniture and household items, hygiene and cleaning, legal assistance, Medicaid, nutritious food, pets and emotional support animals (ESA), pregnancy and parenting, secure housing, tax preparation and filing assistance, transportation, and utilities.

All resource lists are available to view on their website.

If you have questions or would like support in navigating these resources, contact the Dean of Students Office at 216.368.1527 or deanofstudents@case.edu.
