Beginning in June, residents of a population sector living in certain zip codes in Sacramento County who are below 200% of the federal poverty level will receive significant financial assistance.
This assistance is being provided as part of a comprehensive strategy that is centered on the welfare of children and to prevent them from becoming involved with the child welfare system.
Adhere to the procedure for choosing
The program known as Sacramento Family First (FFESP), which offers a monthly assistance of $725 dollars to the families that are in the greatest need, is now in the process of selecting candidates for the program. Sacramento County is located in the state of California.
As soon as the eligibility requirements have been established, the government of Sacramento County will go forward with the process of identifying the beneficiaries who took part in the selection process that came to an end at midnight on Sunday, April 27.
next then, the determination of who will be eligible to receive this state award, which will start to be distributed in June of the next year, will be left up to chance.
The months of April and May will be crucial in determining the citizens who will be eligible to receive the assistance.
In order to accomplish this, officials from the FFESP will conduct a random selection among the group of applicants who are eligible for the assistance.
The outcome of this selection will be communicated to each of the individuals who were chosen through the postal service and on the website ffesp.org.
Can anyone explain the FFESP?
Private funds and the State Block Grant that is given to DCFAS by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) are the primary sources of funding for the Family and Family Education and Support Program (FFESP).

In what time frame will the initial payment be made?
The official website of the program provides the following information: “Enrolled participants will receive $725 per month for a period of twelve months, which is equivalent to one year.” It is anticipated that the initial payment will be made on June 15, 2025, and the last payment will be made on July 15, 2026.
