What is the Off-Campus Housing Office (OCHO)?

Basic Needs Off-Campus Housing Office recognizes that home is not always a physical space, but a secure caring feeling and sense of stability. All of our resources and educational initiatives aim to assist registered and enrolled students through the off campus housing search process, spectrum of housing stability, and comfortably with transitioning to off-campus living. We offer a variety of services through Basic Needs Off-Campus Housing Office and other departments to assist students in achieving housing stability. Basic Needs Off-Campus Housing Office also manages the official UC San Diego Off-Campus Housing Website
