The West County Services Center offers limited appointments with staff for the Department of Health Services, the Human Services Department, and District 5 Supervisor Lynda Hopkins.
Residents can also access the community clothing closet and a small emergency food pantry to help meet immediate needs while waiting to receive EBT cards. We are continuing to work toward bringing even more direct services to West County to make it easier for working families, seniors, and caregivers to access support.
CalFresh provides monthly assistance to low- or no-income individuals and families. Benefits are loaded onto an EBT card that works like a debit card to use at stores to buy food.
Medi-Cal is a program that offers free or low-cost health coverage for children and adults with limited income and resources. If you qualify, you can enroll in Medi-Cal year-round.
General Assistance provides temporary cash assistance for individuals who have little or no money. It can be approved for up to 90 days in a 12-month period, and possibly longer for people with disabilities.
