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.

The Basic Needs Center also works closely with CUNY CARES to increase access to essential needs for students by connecting them with on and off-campus public benefits for housing (e.g., eviction prevention); food (e.g., SNAP), financial assistance, health insurance and career development.
