All University of California campuses provide reciprocal Basic Needs resources to all UC students. For example, if you are a UCSB student who has returned to Los Angeles, some services will be available to you at UCLA. Likewise, if you are a UCLA student who has returned home to the Santa Barbara area, some services will be available to you at UC Santa Barbara. Contact your local campus Basic Needs center.
