Resources and programs that support CSUN students' basic needs will soon be offered in one, central location on campus, at the new Valera NEST. The Valera NEST, officially known as “Nurturing Environment for Students to Thrive,” will open its doors in Spring 2026.
Located in a renovated space of the University Student Union (USU), the Valera NEST will house critical programs that enable CSUN students to excel and reach their educational goals.
CSUN provides students and the campus community with a comprehensive network of resources and services to support their basic needs. These include housing stability, food aid, emergency financial support, and more; both on and off-campus. Our goal is to provide holistic support, one-on-one guidance, and equitable access to resources that are tailored to our diverse students' individual needs.
