Housing

Humboldt Off-Campus Housing Office

The Off-Campus Housing Office is there to help you navigate the local housing market - from current listings, roommate finders, strategies to make a good impression on landlords, to mediation information on landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities.

Make an appointment with the Off-Campus Housing Coordinator.

Temporary Transitional Housing Program

The Campus Assistance, Response, and Engagement (CARE) Office facilitates the Temporary Transitional 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.

Humboldt Housing and Residence Life

There is a wide variety of on-campus housing options to suit your needs: apartments, suites, or traditional residence halls. Each comes with a list of amenities, facilities, and other features to make your life a little easier. You can even live alongside students who share common interests in one of our Theme Housing options.
