Who We Are
UC San Diego Housing, Dining and Hospitality provides housing and dining services for approximately 19,000 undergraduate and graduate students and their families in more than 400 buildings, covering nearly 10 million square feet. Consisting of eight divisions, HDH has more than 1,000 career employees, 1,200 to 1,300 student employees, and an annual operating budget greater than $250 million.
HDH is in the midst of implementing an aggressive building plan that will add 10,000 new beds over the next 10 years and nearly double square footage by 2032.
HDH is a self-supporting department that operates without any federal, state or campus funding. HDH receives nearly 90% of its funding from housing and dining services. It also secures revenue from conference and catering services. The goal is to break-even.
