To improve access to General Assistance (GA) benefits for eligible people in rural areas, PILP launched the Rural General Assistance Project (Rural GAP) in 2012. Through partnerships with local advocates, Rural GAP enforces counties’ legal duty to provide GA funds, resulting in over $100 million more GA benefits to thousands of Californians in rural communities and systemic reforms to GA benefit programs in San Benito, Monterey, and Yuba counties.
