Be the change. Support success.

Let’s end college poverty!
​40% of college and university students drop out each year.
We can fix that.

​At Wesley House, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and build strong communities by supporting equitable access to higher education through affordable housing and support services. We do this by breaking down the barriers to higher education experienced by low-income and system-impacted individuals. We ensure students’ basic needs are met and we provide access to in-house and community resources designed to meet their emerging needs.

Our Programs

Equipped for Success

Our Equipped for Success provides access to a wide array of support services designed to help low-income students achieve their personal, professional, and academic goals.
Services include counseling, mentoring, job preparedness, life-skills training, food assistance, and more. 

CalFresh
​Assistance

CalFresh, known nationally as SNAP, provides monthly benefits for low-income residents to purchase groceries. It is notoriously difficult for college students to access. We provide expert assistance to enroll, use, and maintain CalFresh benefits.

Live, Learn, Grow provides expert support to locate affordable and appropriate housing for college students. Financial support is available for full-time students experiencing a housing crisis including emergency housing, eviction prevention, and access to affordable rental units.
