Cooperative Agencies and Resources for Education (CARE)
What is CARE?
CARE was established by the State of California in 1982 as a supplemental component of EOPS. CARE is a program for single parents who are currently receiving public assistance (CalWORKs/TANF/Cash Aid). The CARE program provides resources and support for disadvantaged single parents and promotes self-sufficiency through education and training.
