What is the Tulare County General Assistance Program?
Every county in California is required to provide relief and support to all residents who are not supported by their own means, by friends or relatives, by other public funds, or by other assistance programs. Each County’s program is established by its own Board of Supervisors. In Tulare County, General Assistance is the program that provides temporary assistance to adults 18 years and older who are not eligible for federal or state-funded cash assistance.
