Are you and your loved ones prepared for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)? People with Access and Functional Needs living in high fire-risk areas can call 211 to plan and prepare for PSPS events. If you have physical, developmental, or intellectual disabilities, chronic conditions, injuries, are an older adult, or use medical equipment that requires electricity, call 211 or text "PSPS" to 211-211 to begin your personalized Care Coordination.

As fire season approaches, utility companies may need to turn off power as a last resort to ensure public safety when there's an increased wildfire risk. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS. Call 211 to learn how to prepare for a PSPS event.

Head Start has helped children and families thrive for more than 60 years —but now, proposed federal changes could upend the quality standards that make the program so effective.

These standards help ensure children receive high-quality early learning, developmental screenings, family support and inclusive services for children with disabilities. We can’t afford to lose them. Now is the time to speak up. Use our public comment template to tell federal leaders why Head Start matters and why these critical standards must be protected. Every voice matters. Submit your comment today and share this post to help your community understand what’s at stake: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BnKPdYNg78QTRDSVHZaQOvrJa-huaFT8/edit

1 in 5 renters reprot keeping their home at an unhealthy temperature to reduce energy costs. YET the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is at risk. The President’s FY2027 budget proposal would eliminate LIHEAP, putting energy assistance for thousands of vulnerable California households in jeopardy. Congress will soon decide whether to fund LIHEAP in 2027. Now is the time to make your voice heard: https://saveliheapca.org/

Join the National Call-In Day: Thursday, August 13, 2026

Head Start has served more than 40 million children over the past 60 years. Now the federal government is proposing harmful deregulation efforts, putting this
vital program at risk! Tell Congress to call on HHS to by rescinding the proposed rule changes!

These changes will harmfully:
-reduce child care access
- increase classroom sizes
- lower protections for children w/disabilities
- diminish teacher qualification standards

Tell your Congressmember to urge HHS to stop these rule changes and
!

Take Action: https://bit.ly/45pgIA0

The federal government is proposing to eliminate most of Head Start's standards and roll back regulatory rules. If enacted, this move will further exacerbate our nation's worsening child care crisis while spelling disaster for the hundreds and thousands of children and families who rely on Head Star...

When there’s increased wildfire risk, utility companies may need to turn off power as a last resort to ensure public safety. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS. 211 PSPS Care Coordination connects utility customers with access and functional needs such as a disability, limited transportation, or other conditions for assistance who reside in high fire-risk areas to valuable resources before, during, and after a PSPS. Call 211 to see if you are eligible.
