BNS HOUSING REFERRAL and CASE MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Students are humans first.

The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice is redefining what it means to be a student-ready college, with a national movement centering on #RealCollege™ students' basic needs. Reliable and consistent access to affordable food, housing, transportation, technology, familial care, and health care is a central condition for learning. Without those needs met, far too many students leave college in debt and without degrees.

We Just Launched the #RealCollege HBCU Coalition!

The Hope Center is partnering with the Center for the Study of HBCUs for the #RealCollege HBCU initiative. HBCUs have been continuously underfunded at both the state and federal levels, which has only been exacerbated during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Through this partnership, we will provide 10 HBCUs with the training and support they need to build and sustain basic needs programs for their students.

We are conducting action research and fighting for the resources and supports to help #RealCollege™ students succeed.

"Hungry to Learn" available for free on Yahoo

After years of being ignored, students experiencing food insecurity are finally taken seriously in Soledad O'Brien's important new documentary Hungry to Learn. It's a critical investigation into what students need now to succeed. Everyone who cares about college, works in a college, or is committed to America's economic recovery should view this documentary and commit to action. Given the current health and economic crisis, there's never been a more important time.

Thanks to Yahoo, the documentary is now available to stream for free. Seize this opportunity. Show the doc to your colleagues and students. Educate policymakers, fundraise for basic needs programs, and spread the word about the realities of #RealCollege. Share what you do with us at #RealCollege and #HungryToLearn on social media.

General Information and Scope of Services

The Attorney for Students advises currently registered Cal students regarding their legal questions, rights, and obligations. A student legal consultation might include (but is not limited to) one of the following examples: a landlord-tenant dispute, a citation for a criminal infraction or misdemeanor, filing an action in California Small Claims Court, questions related to debt and/or collection actions, issues arising from a car accident or auto insurance, or questions about family law.

Please note that Student Legal Services provides counsel and guidance only, and does not represent or advocate for individual students with regard to their potential legal claims or disputes. If your situation requires legal representation, the Attorney for Students will help refer you to appropriate resources. Student Legal Services counsel and guidance is limited to California law only.

Student Legal Services Conflict Policy

Because Student Legal Services is available to all currently registered UC Berkeley students (this does not include postdocs, extension students, or concurrent enrollment students), when a matter arises creating a potential dispute or conflict between two or more students, SLS can provide only information to the concerned parties (no strategic advice or advocacy). The students involved in the matter who seek assistance from Student Legal Services will be informed of this conflict policy, and will be asked to sign a " Conflict Information Session Agreement." After signing this agreement, Student Legal Services will be available to meet with the applicable students in the dispute one time to provide information regarding legal rights, but will only provide referrals and general information (such as the information contained in SLS "Tip Sheets" and "Forms" on this Web site). SLS will not advocate for either side. After the informational/referral meeting(s) with the student(s) involved in the conflict, Student Legal Services may, in appropriate cases, be able to assist with mediating the dispute, upon the request and with the consent of all parties involved.

Making an Appointment/Preparing for Your Appointment

Please also bring any relevant documents to your appointment - these would include items such as a lease, a ticket/citation received from police, a notice received from the court, a civil court summons, a demand letter from a creditor/collector, or a written contract/agreement. All discussions and documents shared with SLS are strictly confidential.
