UC Basic Needs helps University of California students find essential-needs resources across UC campuses. Browse services for food, housing, financial support, health and wellbeing, family assistance, legal support, care coordination, technology, transportation, off-campus referrals, and other student support needs. Filter by campus and category, review service details, save useful resources, and share information when a student or supporter needs it. The app also includes Ask AI, a plain-language guide that helps students understand where to start for UC essential-needs questions. Ask AI uses the selected campus context and points users toward relevant campus resources when available. UC Basic Needs is not an emergency service and cannot monitor chats or dispatch help. If someone may be in immediate danger, call 911. For suicide or mental-health crisis support, call or text 988.

• Added a first-launch campus setup so new users can choose their base UC campus. • Refreshed the home experience with CEJA green styling and clearer campus controls. • Added an All Campuses browsing option without changing the user's saved base campus. • Ask AI now uses the user's currently selected campus for more relevant guidance. • Improved campus selection with a pinned Continue button and double-click shortcut.
