The California LifeLine Program (California LifeLine) is a state program that provides discounted home phone and cell phone services to eligible households. The California LifeLine discounts help consumers lower the cost of their phone bills. Only one discount per household is allowed (except for teletypewriter users and for Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program participants). Each household must choose to get the discount either on a home phone or on a cell phone, but not on both. Check out the Types of Discounted Services Available to learn about the program's benefits.

Basic Needs Intake Form

Staff and faculty are welcome to refer students to the Basic Needs Center in two easy ways:

  1. Walk them over and introduce them. A warm handoff helps students feel supported and comfortable.
  2. Guide them through our Care Navigation system (TBH). Help them complete the Basic Needs Intake Form so we can connect them with the right resources.
