Basic Needs

Delta College recognizes that basic needs have a direct impact on the mental-emotional-physical health, wellness, academic performance, professional development, and holistic success of students. The District strives for equitable access to basic needs through student empowerment, community collaboration, advocacy, and institutional integration. The District believes access to food and housing is a guaranteed right for every person and refuses to accept hunger, malnourishment, and homelessness.
