Health and well-being for Californians are inextricably connected to their economic security. When families are economically secure, they can meet their basic needs—live in safe and stable housing, keep food on the table, pay the bills, care for one another when needed, and save for the future—which leads to healthier individuals, families, and communities, and can prevent violence in the home.
Women, immigrants, communities of color, and people with low incomes face disproportionate barriers to achieving economic stability and mobility, and we’re committed to addressing the root causes of these inequities and removing those barriers. We invest in approaches that put more time and money in the hands of Californians with low incomes; that increase care workers’ wages, benefits, and job quality, while keeping care affordable and accessible for families; and that spur innovations to provide greater economic security for survivors of domestic violence.
