Humboldt State University does not inspect or endorse the listed properties or make any warranties regarding their condition, nor does HSU secure off-campus housing for students. Off Campus Housing accepts listings with the expectation and understanding that the landlord or agent is in compliance with the Fair Housing Act.
Community Resources
This community guide was put together as part of the Humboldt Tenant Landlord Collaboration and is available for you to reference. It has everything from utility companies to post offices, movers, food banks, and much more in the Arcata/Eureka/McKinleyville areas.
Emergency Housing Program
The Campus Assistance, Response, and Engagement (CARE) Office facilitates the Emergency Housing program. In this program students who are unable to find permanent housing, or abruptly lose their housing are sometimes able to be housed temporarily on campus. This program is subject to availability. For more information email dos@humboldt.edu, or click the link above to do a self referral form for CARE Services and indicate that you need assistance with housing.
