Knowing where your next meal is coming from, having a safe place to sleep, and access to health care are examples of the basic needs we all share. At UAH, we understand that meeting these and other basic needs, such as those listed below, is essential to your success as a student. On this website, we bring together campus, local, state, and national resources to help you navigate challenging circumstances you may be facing. It's important to note that eligibility requirements differ for each program.
