- The General Assistance or General Relief (GA/GR) Program is designed to provide relief and support to indigent adults who are not supported by their own means, other public funds, or assistance programs. Each county's GA/GR program is established and funded (100 percent) by its own Board of Supervisors. As the state is not involved in this program, benefits, payment levels, and eligibility requirements vary among each of California's 58 counties. Many recipients of GA/GR are also eligible to participate in the CalFresh (CF) Program, which is designed to raise the level of nutrition among low-income households. A review of the General Relief program reveals growth in the population of adults eligible for services that include job readiness and referrals to community based programs.
