Program: GENERAL ASSISTANCE - NCDSS

Agency: NEVADA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES


Resource Number: 4662010
Alternate name: GENERAL ASSISTANCE

 Description

The Nevada County Department of Social Services offers a supplemental assistance program for adults who do not qualify for federal or state programs such as CalWORKs or SSI/SSP. 

The program is designed to meet basic needs when no other resources are available and serves as a last-resort safety net. General Assistance is a repayable grant, not an entitlement.

Services include:

  • Emergency cash assistance for housing, food, and basic needs
  • Temporary employment services for individuals deemed employable

Program eligibility is determined through a needs assessment and requires repayment under certain conditions.
