Rio Hondo College CalWORKs Mission
The mission of the Rio Hondo College CalWORKs Program is to empower low-income parenting students receiving cash-aid from the State of California to transition into the workforce and achieve economic self-sufficiency. We achieve this through student services, resources, and assistance with their cash-aid requirements that allow students to complete their educational goals.

The California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program is a time-limited program that provides financial assistance to eligible needy families with (or expecting) children to help pay for housing, food, utilities, clothing, medical care, and other necessary expenses.
Generally, families are eligible to receive cash aid and services when:
- The eligible children are deprived of parental support or care due to:
- Death;
- Incapacity;
- Unemployment/underemployment; or
- Continued absence of one or both parents.
- A needy or non-needy caretaker provides care for foster children.
