Great visiting county and state partners providing CARE Act services to Californians with addiction and severe mental health issues.

We've connected nearly 12,000 people to support since 2024, delivered historic drops in homelessness, and are helping to undo decades of neglect.

Rural areas cover 82% of California’s land and are home to 2.7M people. Access to care across these distances is critical. California is expanding rural healthcare access.

El Niño is here, let’s break down what it is and what it could mean for California.

El Niño happens when parts of the Pacific Ocean become warmer than usual. This warming can influence weather patterns across the Pacific, increasing the chance for stronger storms, coastal flooding and other weather impacts in California.

El Niño can look different depending on where you live, so it’s important we take steps to prepare. Cal OES encourages all Californians to get ready now by staying informed and signing up for local emergency alerts at https://t.co/GdwO9jW64Q, listening to local authorities and making an emergency plan with your family.

Rides, meals, medications—caregiving can start with everyday help and grow over time. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you regularly help someone who needs care, you may be a caregiver—even if you’ve never called yourself one.
