Program 16: Housing Relocation for CalWORKs Participants Program
The Relocation Program provides a one-time-only assistance to qualified CalWORKs participants to ensure their success in obtaining/maintaining employment. Participants who are eligible for this payment are CalWORKs participants who have obtained a job or received a documented offer of employment, and are in need of child care or public transportation assistance, or need to move closer to work. The payment is only made to a participant receiving cash assistance or who has left a cash assistance program during the last 12 months due to employment. The subsidy can be used for moving expenses, such as moving truck rental, utility deposits, and security deposits.
