the Keeping Employment Equals Your Success (KEYS) Auto Loan program. The KEYS Auto Loan program was
developed by EHSD as a viable solution to some of the transportation issues of CalWORKS participants. The
program targets CalWORKS participants and other low-income residents who are not able to obtain an auto loan but
have clearly demonstrated a need for a personal vehicle as their only practical means of transportation. This
