Student Emergency & Basic Needs

Long Beach City College has implemented a Basic Needs program to address hunger and housing insecurity among students. The program is supported by the Healthy Viking Initiative and will provide increased access to food, direct referrals to appropriate housing agencies, and information regarding transportation resources for LBCC students.

Our goal is to make sure every LBCC students’ Basic Needs are taken care of, so they can focus on their studies and achieve their academic and career goals without having to worry about how they are going to access food, or a safe place to sleep. Our staff is dedicated to helping connect them with resources on-campus and in our community. We work best when we work together!
