Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund

UC Berkeley students continue to struggle with housing insecurity as the COVID-19 pandemic brought on financial strain and limited housing.

UC Berkeley released updates regarding financial losses, increased funding and financial plans for the future which may affect campus students.

For some students, UC Berkeley’s work-study program has been a source of support amid several challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many UC Berkeley students received $500 this week, as campus was given $30.4 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES, Act.
