UO Housing Subsidy 
The Housing Subsidy provides funding to help stabilize UO students experiencing housing insecurity. The subsidy aims to keep students in housing by preventing eviction and/or helping students secure housing when finances are a barrier. In order to be considered for a Housing Subsidy, students must first meet with a representative from the Basic Needs Program to collaboratively develop a basic needs stabilization strategy. The link below opens the Basic Needs Assistance Form, which students can use to request a meeting with a Basic Needs Program representative; it is not the application for the Housing Subsidy.
