Project
The City and County of San Francisco and FUSE are partnering to help the Human Services Agency (SFHSA) keep CalFresh and Medi-Cal benefits accurate and accessible amid major federal and state policy changes. FUSE Executive Fellow Salena Boone will modernize SFHSA’s training systems so eligibility staff can apply new rules with clarity, consistency, and confidence. This work will reduce errors and improve service delivery. Most importantly, it will help San Francisco’s most vulnerable residents keep receiving essential supports when they need them.
