Maslow Center for Basic Needs
In the Spring of 2020, the Maslow Center for Basic Needs was opened on the LAHC campus. The purpose of housing such a center on campus, is to assist students who are struggling to have their basic needs met. Through partnerships with local Los Angeles County agencies and non-profits, the LAHC Basic Needs Center is equipped to address a multitude of student issues. Some of the needs the center will address are: housing insecurity, food insecurity and clothing needs. In addition, students can access limited case management services and information regarding on and off campus resources.
