Situated in an urban environment, UC-Berkeley–like the City of Berkeley and our neighboring cities–is significantly impacted by high housing costs and associated homelessness. In embracing this reality, we have partnered with the city to similarly bring a care and services-first approach to supporting unhoused neighbors sleeping on and adjacent to campus.
If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
