Medical resources
Learn about Medi-Cal benefits
People who qualify for Medi-Cal can get health insurance for free or at a low cost. Medi-Cal is now available to all eligible Californians age 50 or older, regardless of U.S. citizenship or immigration status.
It covers primary, behavioral health, dental, and vision care. Information about immigration is only used to decide if someone is eligible and is not shared with any other government agency. Receiving Medi-Cal will not make you a public charge.
Get free COVID-19 testing, treatment, and advice.
If you don’t have health care coverage, or you have Medi-Cal but don’t have a regular doctor, California’s new nurse advice line can help. Contact Medi-Cal's free Medi-Nurse Line about COVID-19-related symptoms and referrals for free testing and treatment, regardless of income and immigration status.
For help or more information about these resources, call the San Francisco Human Services Agency at 415-558-4700.
Food resources

Learn about CalFresh benefits
Individuals and households with low incomes can use a CalFresh EBT card to purchase food at retail food outlets, grocery stores, farmers markets, and some restaurants. Many immigrants qualify for CalFresh food benefits.
A household can get CalFresh if at least one person has:
- U.S. citizenship
- A green card
- Refugee status, asylum, or parolee status
- A U-Visa or T-Visa or is applying for one
- Applied for relief under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)
- Proof of being a Cuban or Haitian entrant
An individual does not qualify for CalFresh if they are in the United States:
- On a student, work, or tourist visa
- Under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
- Under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) unless they meet the other qualifying factors as an undocumented person
People who are not eligible because of their immigration status can always apply on behalf of other household members, like U.S.-born children.

Financial resources
County Adult Assistance Program
The County Adult Assistance Program (CAAP) offers cash assistance and employment services to low-income adults with no dependent children and to qualifying immigrants. CAAP provides up to $619 a month and other benefits for services including employment training and placement, free MUNI pass, and counseling.
CalWORKS
CalWORKs provides qualifying families and expectant mothers with a variety of temporary assistance, such as employment, housing, and education services. CalWORKs provides cash assistance and various services based on their eligibility. The amount of a family's monthly cash assistance payment depends on a number of factors, including the family's income, the number of eligible people, and the special needs of those family members.
Free Diapers for Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and CalWORKs households
The San Francisco Diaper Bank provides a free monthly supply of diapers to Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, or CalFresh households with children under the age of three. Each eligible child may receive up to two cases of diapers each month. Please note: Participation in the Diaper Bank will not reduce monthly benefit amounts for food or cash assistance.
