LA County DPSS Roundup: Guaranteed Income Pilot Closed, Free Sandbags Available Through November 28
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), in Los Angeles County, California, gathered a set of everyday service updates in its latest Essential DPSS newsletter, covering cash aid, food benefits, health coverage and storm preparation.
The application period for the General Relief Springboard Guaranteed Income Pilot Program is now closed. Applicants invited to enroll on November 10, 2026, have 7 days to respond before their spot goes to another applicant. November is also National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, a time to support the more than 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease.
For CalFresh, DPSS lists three steps to keep benefits in good standing: report income when it goes over the Income Reporting Threshold, submit the SAR 7 on time, and renew benefits by calling the DPSS Renewal Line. Recordings of the department's webinars on CalFresh rule changes under H.R.1 are available on its YouTube channel. On health coverage, Medi-Cal policy changes are coming in 2027 for some Qualified Non-Citizens, and DPSS urges affected members to learn what the changes mean for their coverage.
With a possible wet El Niño winter ahead, free sandbags are available at several Los Angeles County fire stations through Saturday, November 28, 2026. Other items include the Youth@Work program, which is seeking people ages 14 to 24 interested in marketing and communications for paid work-based learning, and Soluna, a free and confidential mental health support app for teens and young adults ages 13 to 25.
