Basic Needs Center Header

 

Basic Needs are the essential resources that impact one’s health, sense of belonging, persistence, and overall well-being. They include:

Food Security

Stable Housing

Financial Sustainability

Transportation

Quality Healthcare

Mental Health & Wellness


The Basic Needs Center helps Lehman students fulfill these needs because we know, when these needs are not met, a person can not perform at their level best.
