The California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program provides vital financial assistance to low-income families, especially as inflation continues to drive up the cost of essential goods and services.
Rising prices for housing, food, utilities, clothing, and medical care have made it increasingly difficult for many households to stay afloat.
Administered by the California Department of Social Services, CalWORKs operates in all 58 counties and offers cash aid to qualifying families.
CalWORKs Helps During High Inflation
CalWORKs aims to break the cycle of poverty by promoting economic mobility and social assistance.
With the cost of living at record highs, these monthly payments help families balance their financial situation and cover basic necessities that have become more expensive due to inflation.
