The Basic Needs department serves as a multidisciplinary space to house and support campus basic needs initiatives. The space serves as a wellness hub for presentations and workshops and where students can meet with ECRT case managers and community partners to receive one-on-one personalized support for their basic needs. Programming in the basic needs center will address financial wellness, nutrition, and cooking education, CalFresh education and enrollment, and more. The Economic Crisis Response Team (ECRT), housed within Basic Needs, aims to bridge the gap in resources for students experiencing immediate food, housing, or unforeseen financial crises that impacts student success. Using a holistic approach to well-being, ECRT supports students through crisis by leveraging a campus-wide collaboration that utilizes on and off-campus partnerships and provides direct referrals based on each student's unique circumstances. ECRT empowers students to identify and access long term, sustainable solutions during/throughout their academic career at SDSU.

This position will also be responsible for coordinating marketing and outreach activities and campaigns to reduce stigma of seeking basic needs support. This position will be responsible for developing a framework for basic needs programming that does not yet exist in full on our campus.

This role will provide support for students through case management and other individual support services during high volume times for the program.
