DESCRIPTION

2022-23 GFI student fellow

The CalFresh Initiative at UCLA assists students with navigating the eligibility, application, interview, and renewal processes. At every step, many students face barriers that delay or deny access to CalFresh. In partnership with the Judge Rand Schrader Pro Bono Program and Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, a combination of staff training, office hours, outreach, marketing/graphic design, and research will play a crucial role in deepening an understanding of case issues. Overall, the CalFresh Initiative aims to raise student awareness and increase staff knowledge of the case complaints and appeals process as an avenue for quickly resolving case issues.
