Welcome to the Gator Resource Center
The Gator Resource Center (GRC) serves as a centralized hub dedicated to supporting
the holistic success and well-being of University of Houston–Downtown students. Our
mission is to ensure that every Gator has access to essential resources that help
remove barriers to persistence, retention, and academic achievement. By addressing
students’ basic needs, we create pathways for stability, empowerment, and long-term
success.
The GRC brings together a wide range of vital campus and community services in one welcoming location. Our center houses Gator Mart, UHD’s food pantry that provides free groceries to students; Gator Shoppe, which offers clothing and essential items; the Gator Lounge, a quiet and supportive space for academic focus and GRC centered events. The GRC works to connect students to resources, referrals, and support systems both on and off campus. Through these programs and partnerships, we aim to meet students where they are and respond to their needs with care and respect.
We offer support both in person and virtually, ensuring that all students, including online and working learners, can access help when they need it. Our knowledgeable and compassionate staff are committed to solution-focused guidance, assisting students with concerns related to food and housing insecurity, financial wellness, emergency support, and community referrals. At the Gator Resource Center, students are seen, heard, and supported.
Whether you are navigating a temporary challenge or seeking ongoing resources, the Gator Resource Center is here for you. If you or someone you know could benefit from our services, we encourage you to visit us and take advantage of the support available to help you thrive at UHD and beyond.
The Gator Resource Center is committed to fostering a compassionate campus community where every student has the tools, support, and connections needed to succeed.
A campus community where every Gator has the resources and support to achieve their
academic and professional goals.
