Housing Resources

Are you experiencing homelessness or are you looking for food?

SparkPoint supports homeless and food insecure students and community members by:

  • Providing a safe space to discuss personal finances and working on goals that lead towards financial wellness.
  • Connecting them to community resources that address housing insecurities, through home sharing and subsidized housing programs.
  • Informing them about the on-campus food pantry where homeless individuals are welcome to choose the food they would like to take.  SparkPoint intentionally orders food that students without a cooking space can utilize.
  • Providing individualized support for homeless individuals to access food resources, including hot meal programs and CalFresh.
  • Making referrals to meet with a lawyer to discuss their rights as tenants.
  • For students under the age of 26 who have experienced homelessness within the last two years, SparkPoint serves as a Homeless Youth Liaison.

Please reach out to your local Core Agency for help with several resources including housing resources and rental assistance. They provide safety net services to residents needing food, emergency housing assistance, emergency utility assistance, shelter, and other basic needs.
