The Mt. SAC Podcast last checked in on our Basic Needs Resources in Fall of 2022, in what has become our most downloaded episode in the nine seasons of the podcast. Because there is a clear interest in this topic we wanted to provide an update about the resources currently available, the students served, and how we can best support students facing housing, food, and other basic needs insecurities.
Join Chisa Uyeki, Mt. SAC Podcast co-host, as she invites Admin Specialist, Monica Arellano, Program Specialist, Lorena Cardozo and Student Resource Navigator Lead, Richard Chavez to talk with us about Basic Needs and the available resources at Mt. SAC.

"Food and housing challenges affect many students at Mt. SAC. If you are experiencing this, you are not alone. If these challenges are affecting your success in the course, let’s talk and I’ll share what I know about campus resources. If you feel more comfortable talking with someone else, many people are here to support you like Basic Needs Resources Program, Counselors, the Mt. SAC Health Center, your coaches or club advisor, and Mt. SAC staff at the many programs and centers on campus.
