Sharing Food & Housing Insecurity Resources with Students

The communication resources below are intended for use by BYU departments, programs, and recognized student organizations to share information about food and housing resources. These materials are designed to be downloaded and posted on official BYU-affiliated Instagram and Facebook accounts to inform students. They should not be used on personal or private social media accounts.

The following statement is offered as an optional tool for faculty to help connect students with food and housing resources through the Dean of Students Office. Faculty may choose to include this statement in their course syllabus, class announcement, student emails, or Canvas/LearningSuite Site.

Food and/or housing insecurity affects many students at one point or another during college. Sometimes a stigma can develop around asking for help, causing students to avoid seeking assistance when it is needed. If you are struggling to afford food or rent, please contact the Dean of Students Office. The deans office will discuss your financial situation, provide gap assistance as needed, inform you about and connect you with university, church, and community resources, and help develop a plan that supports your progress towards long-term self-reliance.

Please visit the website below for more information or contact the Dean of Students Office directly to set up an appointment.
