<p>California has made significant progress in implementing the Master Plan for Early Learning and Care, which provided a road map for building a stronger, more equitable early learning and child care system. <a href="/Portals/9/CCDD/Progress%20Report%20on%20Master%20Plan%20for%20Early%20Learning%20and%20Care.pdf">Access a progress report</a>. </p> <h3><strong>CalWORKs Housing Support Program Celebrates 10 Years</strong></h3> <p>Since its establishment 10 years ago, the CalWORKs Housing Support Program has offered housing assistance and comprehensive supportive services to families in receipt of CalWORKs who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. <a href="/inforesources/cdss-programs/housing-programs/calworks-housing-support-program">Learn more about the program</a> and access a related <a href="/Portals/9/CalWORKs/HSP%2010-Year%20Newsletter.pdf">newsletter</a>. </p> <h3><strong>Community Care Expansion Grants Expand Housing</strong></h3> <p>Nearly $570 million in <a href="/inforesources/cdss-programs/community-care-expansion">Community Care Expansion (CCE) program</a> grants have been awarded to new housing projects across the state. CCE projects – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRa5Uvwh9Gg&feature=youtu.be">many of which are already underway</a> – will create new housing at licensed adult and senior care residences, permanent supportive housing sites, and other housing options, including a first-of-its-kind housing project on Tribal lands for elders. These housing options will offer an array of services to support independent living for older adults and adults with disabilities who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Additional information on CCE program grantees and awards is available on the <a href="https://www.ccegrant.com/data-dashboard/">CCE data dashboard</a>. Access a <a href="https://youtu.be/5XSFKBa8L2k?feature=shared">video</a> about the project. </p> <h3><strong>Taking Steps to Better Serve Foster Youth</strong></h3> <p>California has made transformative changes to the way the State cares for children and youth in the foster care system. The <a href="/inforesources/continuum-of-care-reform">Continuum of Care Reform (CCR)</a> was founded upon the collective belief among stakeholders involved in California’s child welfare system that all children served by the foster care system need, deserve, and have an ability to be part of a <a href="/Portals/9/CCR/CDSS_CCR_Issue_Brief_APU.pdf">loving family, and not to grow up in a congregate setting</a>. When CCR implementation began in 2017, an interim foster care rate structure was created. However, statute required a payment structure by January 1, 2025. To this end, the Department recently <a href="/Portals/13/Press%20Releases/2024/cdss-news-release-tiered-rate-structure.pdf">unveiled a new, permanent rate structure</a>, which was informed by feedback from current and former foster youth, county placing agencies, Tribes, and other interested parties. California is restructuring rates so that they are based on the needs of each child, not placement type. By restructuring the system this way, California can help address historical racial inequities and help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and trauma. The new rates will take effect beginning July 1, 2027. Read <a href="/inforesources/cdss-programs/foster-care/foster-care-audits-and-rates/foster-care-rate-reform-proposal">additional information</a> and a <a href="/Portals/9/FosterCare/FCRR/cdss-summary-of-foster-care-permanent-rate-structure.pdf">detailed summary</a> on the new rate structure. </p> <h3><strong>SUN Bucks Summer Food Program for Kids </strong></h3> <p>SUN Bucks provides families $40 per month for food in June, July, and August ($120 total) when children do not have access to school meals. Most children who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals through a school meal application, or who receive CalFresh, CalWORKs, and/or Medi-Cal (at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level) are automatically enrolled. Most families do not need to take action to receive SUN Bucks. Children who are not automatically enrolled must submit a SUN Bucks <a href="https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/nu/sunbucks.asp">application</a> to their child’s school or school administrator’s office by August 31 each year to see if they quality for SUN Bucks within the same year based on household size and income. <a href="/sun-bucks">Learn more about SUN Bucks</a>. </p> <h3><strong>CDSS Teams up With UCD, UCLA to Fortify the Future of the Child Welfare Workforce</strong></h3> <p>The California Department of Social Services is supporting a major effort to promote child welfare workforce development. The California Workforce Innovation, Support, and Education (CalWISE) program embraces a partnership model to strengthen and develop the statewide child welfare workforce through data-informed education, training, and support initiatives. As part of this effort, the Title IV-E social worker education program, previously administered by the California Social Work Education Center (CalSWEC), is now co-led by the University of California, Davis (UCD) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Together, these two sites are leveraging their expertise to enhance program outcomes for the child welfare workforce continuum. UCD is spearheading curriculum development and connection with child welfare workforce practice, and UCLA is leading the evaluation of training resources to ensure that training decisions are data-informed and result in intended impact. These combined efforts demonstrate a commitment to provide human-centered, high-quality services to youth and families impacted by the child welfare system. To learn more, visit the <a href="https://humanservices.ucdavis.edu/blog/fortifying-future-child-welfare-workforce">UCD website</a>. </p> <h3><strong>Training and Stipends Offered for Social Work Education</strong></h3> <p>The California Department of Social Services is partnering with San Jose State University (SJSU) to promote training and stipends for social work education in exchange for employment in Adult Protective Services after graduation. These are available for both Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Arts in Social Work students. To learn more, visit the <a href="https://www.sjsu.edu/socialwork/financial-support/training-stipend.php">SJSU website</a>. </p> <h3><strong>Report Highlights Success of Project Roomkey</strong></h3> <p>The California Department of Social Services has announced the release of a <a href="https://www.abtglobal.com/projects/evaluating-californias-project-roomkey">report</a> that highlights the success of <a href="/inforesources/cdss-programs/housing-programs/project-roomkey">Project Roomkey</a>, the State’s groundbreaking program that provided non-congregate shelter options, such as hotels and motels, for people experiencing homelessness, to protect human life, and to minimize strain on the health care system during the pandemic. The Department also issued an issue brief (<a href="/Portals/9/Housing/CDSS-Project-Roomkey-Issue-Brief.pdf">English</a>, <a href="/Portals/9/Housing/CDSS-Project-Roomkey-Issue-Brief-es.pdf">Spanish</a>) and news release (<a href="/Portals/13/Press%20Releases/2024/CDSS-news-release-Project-Roomkey.pdf">English</a>, <a href="/Portals/13/Press%20Releases/2024/CDSS-news-release-Project-Roomkey-es.pdf">Spanish</a>) on Project Roomkey. </p> <h3><strong>Beware of EBT Theft and Scams</strong></h3> <p>California has been experiencing an increase in Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) theft. The California Department of Social Services created videos with security tips for EBT cardholders (<a href="https://youtu.be/opg52FxKoSo?feature=shared">English</a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/O7j7ut0_FKI?feature=shared">Spanish</a>). If you think your benefits may have been stolen, immediately call the customer service telephone number on the back of your EBT card, (877) 328-9677, or contact your county social services agency. </p> <p>A mobile app and web-based portal called ebtEDGE provides EBT cardholders in California with tools to protect their CalFresh and CalWORKs benefits. The free app is available for download in the <a href="https://www.apple.com/app-store/">Apple App</a> store and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps?pli=1">Google Play store</a>. <a href="https://www.ebt.ca.gov/cardholder/">Web-based access</a> is also available. The Department offers videos about the app (<a href="https://youtu.be/nmsRaYeV98Q?feature=shared">English</a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/7G8xcrStK-w?feature=shared">Spanish</a>). </p> <h3><strong>Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI)</strong></h3> <p>You may qualify for cash assistance if you are an immigrant living in California and are: </p> <ul> <li>65 years or older, or</li> <li>blind, or</li> <li>disabled</li> </ul> <p>CAPI is a program that is based on meeting certain immigration, income, and resource requirements. Please visit the <a href="/capi">CAPI program website</a> for more information and how to apply! </p> <h3><strong>Alert: Important Change to Public Charge Rule</strong></h3> <p>Immigrants and their loved ones across California can seek and accept medical care, food assistance, and public housing without fear or confusion about public charge consequences thanks to a <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2022/09/08/dhs-publishes-fair-and-humane-public-charge-rule">public charge rule </a> published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which went into effect December 23, 2022. Under the final rule, participation in CalFresh, public housing, or Medi-Cal (except for long-term care), will not be considered as part of the public charge determination. Also, a reminder that medical testing, treatment, and preventive services for COVID-19, including vaccines, are not considered for public charge purposes. For additional information, please see the following: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.chhs.ca.gov/blog/2022/09/22/joint-statement-from-calhhs-leaders-on-new-public-charge-regulation/">Joint statement </a> from California health and human services leaders in response to the federal public charge changes. </li> <li>Public Charge Guide for individuals and families with questions about the these changes in federal policy: <strong> </strong>(<a href="https://www.chhs.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/CalHHSPublicChargeGuideUPDATED_Sep22.pdf">English</a>) ( <a href="https://www.chhs.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/CalHHS-GUIA-SOBRE-LA-CARGA-PUBLICA_Sep22.pdf">Español</a>)</li> </ul> <p>Individuals in California seeking assistance are encouraged to consult one of many state-funded organizations that provide legal services to immigrants.
