Basic Needs
Welcome!
SBVC understands that Basic Needs are the foundation for mental, emotional, and physical health which allows students to focus more time on their academics and pursuing their goals. Our goal is to connect students to on-and off-campus resources and provide educational opportunities for students to take personal responsibility for their wellness. Additionally, we aim for these connections to support students even after leaving San Bernardino Valley College.
If you are in need of Basic Need support and currently registered for classes, please complete Request Basic Need Service form.
For immediate assistance contact 2-1-1 Inland Empire by dialing 211 or go to https://inlandsocaluw.org/211 for housing assistance, shelter referrals, and access to county resource directory.
