CalWORKs is a welfare program in California that provides cash aid and services to eligible families in need across all 58 counties. The program aims to offer equitable access to services and resources to help families increase resilience, achieve economic mobility, and break the cycle of poverty.
If a family is facing hardship, CalWORKs may assist with immediate short-term needs such as housing, food, utilities, clothing, or medical care. Families that qualify for ongoing assistance receive monthly financial support to cover essential expenses like housing and food.
Families interested in applying for CalWORKs can visit welfare offices in their respective counties. Eligibility for the program is based on factors such as family size, income, and the specific needs of family members. Those with children who lack parental support, unemployed principal earners, or caretaker relatives of foster children may qualify for assistance.
