Existing law establishes various public social services programs, including, among others, the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program and CalFresh. Existing law states that the purpose of its provisions relating to public social services is to provide protection, care, and assistance to the people of the state in need of them, and to promote the welfare and happiness of all of the people of the state by providing appropriate aid and services to those who are needy and distressed.
