1 Million Children May Lose Their Cash Assistance

WCLP has just issued a new fact sheet outlining how California would be harmed if the Governor gets his way and eliminates CalWORKs. The memo looks at a number of impacts including:

How Many Children and Families Will Be Harmed
How Many Children Will Fall Into Deep Poverty
How Much Federal Assistance California Will Lose
How California CalWORKs Grant Levels Compare to Other States
Which Counties Are Harmed the Most From CalWORKs Elimination

See the link below for the full report.

The media is beginning to focus on the issue of the Governor's draconian human service cuts. Here is a link to an ABC story that includes Mike Herald of WCLP.
