CalWORKs Housing Support Program CDSS Programs Housing Programs CalWORKs Housing Support Program CalWORKs Housing Support Program The CalWORKs Housing Support Program (HSP) was established in 2014 to foster housing stability for families experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness in the CalWORKs program.
HSP offers housing-related financial assistance – such as rental assistance, security deposits, utility payments, moving costs, and hotel/motel vouchers – alongside wraparound supportive services, which may include housing navigation, case management, referrals for legal services, and credit repair. As of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25, fifty-six (56) counties operate HSP and each program is tailored to meet the needs of the local community.
More information about participating HSP grantees is available in County Fiscal Letter (CFL) 24/25-11 . HSP assists families in the CalWORKs program that are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness, including families receiving CalWORKs who have not yet received an eviction notice, and for whom housing instability would be a barrier to self-sufficiency or child well-being.
To ensure that funding remains prioritized for those with the highest vulnerabilities, CDSS recommends that counties use the majority of funds to support people experiencing homelessness. For additional details and definitions of eligibility, please refer to Attachment One of the All County Welfare Directors Letter dated December 13, 2021 .
HSP was established in 2014 by Senate Bill 855 with a $20 million budget, and funding has gradually increased since the program's inception. In addition to the $95 million HSP currently receives annually, in each FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23, HSP received an additional $190 million in one-time funds. The Housing Support Program is administered through CalWORKs at the county level.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
NIH released a draft policy on August 27, 2026 that would require every NIH-supported clinical study to offer participants a plain-language summary of results — clinical trials within one year of completion, all other clinical research by the end of the funding period. It covers observational and behavioral research that ClinicalTrials.gov never touched. Here is the scope, the four requirements nobody has budgeted for, and what to say before the October 26 deadline.
Read articleThe FY2026 MEP Center State Competition ran in two rounds: eight states worth $139.1 million, then fourteen more worth $232.4 million, both closing August 21, 2026. That's 43 percent of the national network recompeted in twelve months, under a 50 percent non-federal cost share, while the administration's own budget request proposed eliminating the program. Here's what the award tables reveal, why incumbents are genuinely at risk, and how to position for the FY2027 wave.
Read articleOn August 14, 2026, the California Arts Council approved nearly $24.6 million across 1,200 grant awards. Buried in the release is a rare thing: before-and-after data showing exactly how much the ranked-priority bonus moved the pool. Small organizations went from 53% of applicants to 72% of awardees.
