How does IHSS help you and your family?
Are you willing to help save the program?

Send us your story

We are looking for stories from IHSS care providers and their clients. Your stories put a “personal” face on the IHSS program and can be very effective weapons in our fight to save IHSS. Recent budget reductions, lawsuits, confusing instructions and new requirements have caused enormous stress and hardship for many Californians using the IHSS program. We would like to know if you’ve suffered difficulty hiring the provider of your choice due to new restrictions. Have you been victimized by unannounced home visits or other problems resulting from aggressive anti-fraud investigations? Have you experienced difficulties obtaining information crucial to your eligibility (such as your Functional Index Score)?

If you wish, we will ONLY share your story with state legislators in order to persuade them about the importance of IHSS. However, if you approve, we will also share it with the community through the media or on our website.

If you are willing to describe how IHSS impacts your life, please fill out our story form and send by email or regular mail. Stories should include your contact information and signature.
