Happy Halloween 🎃

Here are three things you should ghost this year:

-Thinking it’s not worth it to apply for public benefits. Banish the thought❌. Everyone’s situation is different and you might qualify for more than you think.

- Ignoring important notices. Ghost that 👻 . It’s really important you open any mail, answer our phone calls, or open our texts because we only contact you to share important information.

-Avoiding setting up a BenefitsCal account. No tricks, just treats 🍬. You can apply for and renew your benefits, and upload important docs, all within BenefitsCal.com.

Meet the team at our Office of Food Security Coordination! ✨

Cindy, Tommy and Cathy are all passionate about reducing food insecurity and expanding affordable, culturally-relevant food opportunities to San Franciscans.

Here's what they shared about their roles and what motivates them:

"What excites me about this job is that I can see the direct effect of our work in community. Every program we design results in more San Franciscans getting food that they want to receive, and that makes me incredibly proud. I also appreciate how much our agency honors diversity and how we have been able to serve diverse populations with the limited resources that we have." - Cindy Lin, Program Manager

"In our work, I most enjoy getting to learn from and partner with incredible community-based organizations that serve San Franciscans through dignified, community-led, and culturally-relevant food programs." - Tommy McClain, Program Analyst

"Many things excite and motivate me about this work. One of the biggest motivators is the amazing community-based organizations (CBOs) I get to work with every day. My team is fortunate to partner with CBOs all over the city made up of kindhearted and passionate individuals with a shared mission to reduce food insecurity in San Francisco." - Cathy Huang, Program Analyst

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we want to share some words from one of our incredible employees, Humberto.

Humberto is a Social Worker with our In-Home Support Services program. He's a great listener and compassionate colleague who brings a positive attitude to every interaction 💗

Happy Filipino American History Month!

This month commemorates the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the United States on October 18, 1587, in Morro Bay, California.

Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian American and Pacific Islander group in the country.

In San Francisco, SoMa is home to the largest Filipino community in the City and is recognized as a cultural district celebrating Filipino heritage.✨

From arts and activism to caregiving and community leadership, Filipino Americans have helped shape the heart of our city.

At SFHSA, we celebrate this legacy not just in October but all year long. 💛

If you know someone who uses public benefits like CalFresh, share these tips with them!

1. If you received Sun Bucks in the summer, use those funds first before CalFresh. Sun Bucks funds expire four months after you receive them, which for most households is in September or October.

2. CalFresh Cost-of-Living Adjustment: Starting this month, there are higher maximum benefits and deductions for CalFresh participants.

3. More college students are eligible for CalFresh. Undergraduate students enrolled at least half-time at California Community Colleges, California State University, and University of California campuses don’t need to meet additional student work requirements to qualify for CalFresh.
