Living in Los Angeles


HOUSING AND RELOCATION

Access to program descriptions and application requirements of the different housing assistance programs may be found on the web site for the Office of USC Real Estate and Asset Management. Programs include the Faculty and Staff Housing Program, the Neighborhood Homeownership Program, and Relocation Assistance Services.

As a service to the university faculty and staff, a database of properties is also listed on the Faculty and Staff Housing main page. This database is listed only as a service to match individuals who wish to sell or rent their property to members of the USC community. All program applicants must still follow the required procedures to obtain housing assistance.
