Final Exam Excuses

Housing Security

The Basic Needs Task Force is working on addressing housing insecurity and homelessness among students at UNC. Housing insecurity can be defined as a set of challenges that could include the inability to pay rent or utilities, residing in a place where personal safety or health is compromised, and other challenges. Homelessness means that a student does not have a stable, reliable, or permanent place to live, sometimes which might include living in a shelter, car, or another public setting. The goal is to provide resources for students that address both sets of challenges. 

  • Emergency Housing (funding and options)(coming soon) 
  • Housing Resources in the Community – You can find some community resources that can assist with emergency housing, short-term housing, and long-term housing.
