You should definitely also apply for CalFresh. You can also call them at 1.855.309.3663

If You Don’t Have A Safe Place to Live

If You Need to See a Doctor

If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, such as cough or difficulty breathing, call your health care provider. You can usually find their contact information on the back of your insurance card. If you do not have a provider, call the Contra Costa Health Service Advice Nurse at 1.877.661.6230 and select option one.
To sign up for health insurance, visit Help on Demand at Covered California.
If it is a life-threatening emergency, call 9-1-1.
