Basic Needs Hub

Basic Needs are defined as the essential resources needed to survive, including access to food, shelter, clothing, utilities (such as electricity, heat, gas, etc.) childcare, and financial and physical security.  

At Farmingdale State College, we believe that every student deserves access to the essential resources they need to succeed both personally and academically. This webpage is designed to provide information on a variety of on-campus and community resources that can help you address various basic needs insecurities.
