The UCSB Basic Needs and Rapid Rehousing Program partners with the UCSB Sustainability Internship and Community Resources (SICR) Department to host most of the students hired for our work. This includes offering space, mentorship, ensuring students have access to the resources needed to do their projects, financial management of their budgets, and personnel management. You can learn more about SICR on the SICR Website.
