Resource Guides to Disaster Assistance

Cash Aid and Food Assistance

CalWORKs is a public assistance program that provides cash aid and services to eligible families that have a child(ren) in the home. The program is operated locally by county welfare departments.

CalFresh issues monthly food benefits on an EBT card that can be used to buy most foods at most grocery stores and farmers markets.

Click: You can apply for CalFresh Food benefits in 15 minutes by visiting GetCalFresh.org

Call: You can connect to your local county office by phone by dialing 1-877-847-3663 (FOOD).

Visit: To visit your local county office, use the online office locator tool at: https:/calfresh.dss.ca.gov/food/officelocator/

For more information: CalFreshFood.org or https://cdss.ca.gov/food-nutrition/calfresh

Current CalFresh recipients: If food you bought with your CalFresh benefits was spoiled as a result of the power outages or destroyed due to fire, you can request a replacement of your CalFresh benefits.

To request a replacement of your CalFresh benefits, contact your county office:

You will need to complete, sign and turn in a 'CF 303' form to request a replacement. Include your contact information and a short description of how your food was lost. Include the time and date of the power outage.

Your request for replacement benefits must be made within 30 days of the power outage (normally this request must be made within 10 days, but the timeline has been extended due to the broad impact of the outages and fires).

Disaster CalFresh

During times of disaster when there has been a Presidential Declaration with Individual Assistance , California may operate Disaster-CalFresh (D-CalFresh) in specific areas to provide a temporary, 30-day benefit to households who may have been impacted by the disaster and are not normally eligible for CalFresh.

At this time, California is not operating Disaster CalFresh.

Food Banks

Food Banks throughout California can provide relief to families affected by the wildfires by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. Locate a food bank in your area.

Housing Assistance

County Welfare Departments have funding specifically designated to support families and individuals experiencing homelessness. All counties administer the CalWORKs Homeless Assistance Program, which provides temporary assistance to pay for up to 16 days in a motel to families who are eligible for or receiving CalWORKs assistance. For more information, contact your local County Welfare Department or visit a Local Assistance Center. Most counties also operate a CalWORKs Housing Support Program, which offers longer term housing search and rental supports. For more information about the program, please reach out to your county Housing Support Program contact. The full county contact list can be found here.

County Welfare Departments may have housing supports available to families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Additional information on those programs can be found here.

Unemployment Services

The California Employment Development Department provides a variety of relief and services to individuals and businesses impacted by the wildfire disasters in California. These range from assistance for those who may have lost a job due to the disaster, to employers who are forced to shut down operations. Find out more about unemployment services here.

Grant Assistance for Individuals and Families

The California Department of Social Services, Disaster Services Branch, may be able to provide disaster assistance through the State Supplemental Grant Program (SSGP) and the Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP). Find out more about these programs here.

California residents may register for individual and household disaster assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

In-Home Supportive Services

Recipients and providers of In-Home Supportive Services with questions regarding services impacted by the wildfires should contact your county IHSS worker. Here is a list of county IHSS offices.

Local Assistance Centers

Local Assistance Centers are open in affected counties to provide a wide variety of services and assistance to individuals and families. You can contact you local county to determine the location and hours of operation.

Locating Residents Evacuated from State Licensed Community Care Facilities

If you are trying to locate someone who has been evacuated from a State licensed community care facility due to the California wildfires the Department has a listing of known evacuations and destinations.

Home Hardening. If the state accepts your application to retrofit your home, the county will come to check your home and create a report. The report will show how much help you can get and list steps you must or could take. Actions include: Create defensible space. That means clearing trees, brush or other things that can burn, away from your home.
Retrofits. This is changing materials on your home or doing other work that better protects it from burning. It can include replacing your roof, doors, vents or other parts of the home. We will arrange for contractors to do the work. In most cases, you will not need to pay up front and wait to get reimbursed.

This website includes a list of various companies and places that are taking donations for hygiene products, clothing, and other basic necessities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The California wildfire that first ignited on Tuesday morning in the Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, has spread throughout several parts of the greater LA area, leaving many residents without access to basic necessities.

Cal Fire reported that the fire's cause is still under investigation. More than 800 firefighters, with the help of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, have been battling the spreading flames. Since the Palisades blaze began, fire crews have struggled to contain the 17,000-acre fire, which has forced thousands of residents to evacuate.

As of Thursday morning, January 9, the fire was mapped at 17,234 acres with no containment. According to the Wildfire Alliance, the Palisades Fire is already far more destructive than the second-most destructive wildfire in LA history, with 1,000 structures destroyed. Damage is believed to be in the tens of billions of dollars.

As fire continues to take so much away from California residents, local organizations and global beauty and clothing brands have stepped up to support those affected. Clothing and toiletries are especially vital in the first few days after destruction. Basic necessities like shirts, pants, and female hygiene products are some of the many things California wildfire victims will need in the coming days. Below, we've rounded up many of the places you can donate to or support.
This list will be updated as resources expand.
