Apply for what you need

Answer the questions here. A Hope and Key case worker checks your answers, files them with the county or DMV, and replies to you by message — you never have to stand in line to start.

• CalFresh food benefits

  Food money on an EBT card, usually within 3 days if you have no money coming in.

  One application for coordinated entry, housing vouchers and shelter waiting lists in your county.

• California ID card — no fee

  A state ID with the fee waived if you're experiencing homelessness. No ID means no shelter, no job, no benefits.

Hope and Key is not the county or the DMV. Your answers go to a case worker who files them for you and tells you what happens next.
