Basic Needs Hubs
Basic Needs Hubs are a one-stop location for PCC students to find support for their basic needs concerns.
Who We Are
PCC Basic Needs Hubs are a part of the Basic Needs,Sustainability and Leadership department. The PCC Basic Needs Hubs are staffed by a team of Peer Resource Navigators. Our Peer Resource Navigators are PCC students from the Human Services program who offer a peer-to-peer model of support.
What We Do
We provide PCC students with information and referrals to basic needs resources like food, housing, transportation, and healthcare so they can focus on their personal, academic and career goals.
Peer Resource Navigators help guide and assist PCC students with:
- SNAP eligibility screening and applications
- Complete this quick screener to see if you qualify for SNAP!
- Oregon Health Plan information and applications
- Accessing community free food resources
- Navigating housing resources and referrals
