How do I apply for General Assistance?

If you are unable to apply in person call (831) 454-4165 and we will mail you an application packet. If you are disabled and unable to come into the office you may designate a person familiar with your circumstances to apply as your representative.

You will be given an appointment to meet with an eligibility worker. The appointment will take 2-3 hours. Benefits can only be approved if you are eligible AND we receive all documents we ask for (for example, pay stubs or bank statements).
