Affordable housing is one of the most difficult barriers to self-sufficiency our clients face. This
service, a result of CCC CalWORKs Housing Assistance Alliance and cited in the County
CaIWORKs Housing Assistance Action Plan & Implementation Strategy, is one of many
services being developed by the Department to address housing issues.
