The Laptops 4 Life program provided laptops to CalWORKs Home Visiting Program participants. Families who received the laptops could keep them. Participants could request both a smartphone and a laptop if the county or home visiting partner has assessed that the family is in need of both devices for the household. 25 counties participated in the program. Counties worked with their home visiting partners to determine participants’ need for the devices.
The Laptops 4 Life program is extended to September 29, 2023. This extension allows CalWORKs home visiting program participants to get a laptop and potentially a smartphone until September 29, 2023. (ACWDL, November 2, 2022.)
