• California residency.

Applicant must be able to include with the application:

• Copies of bills for which assistance is being requested

Once the application is received by CJF, applicant will be contacted by our social worker. Except in an emergency or crisis, please allow at least one or two weeks for processing.

When financial assistance is provided by CJF, it is charitable in nature and, therefore, before seeking such assistance, an applicant is encouraged to investigate all other possible sources of public aid. All approved assistance is paid directly to a creditor/third party. At its sole discretion, CJF reserves the right to deny or approve financial assistance.
