April 1, 2014 - Through the brilliance of the Public Interest Law Project and our own Watsonville staff, San Benito County adopted General Assistance regulations and created a program at its Board of Supervisors meeting. 

Prior to the meeting, the County had a program with regulations from 1981 that no one at the welfare office knew about.  Applicants were told that there was no cash aid program for indigent adults, especially if they were homeless.
