Basic Needs

Welcome to the Compass Center at Contra Costa College

Empowering students through Resources, Compassionate Care and Understanding while Eliminating Barriers, and supporting students one fundamental need at a time.

Contra Costa College is proud to offer our students support through our on-campus Compass Center. We know it can be tough to focus on school when the challenges of meeting your basic needs such as finding a place to live, having access to regular healthy food, and consistent transportation are on your mind. The Basic Needs Team is committed to helping students succeed while addressing challenges you may be experiencing.
