Community HealthWorks

Our offices will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of Independence Day.

Sacramento County - Government ’s 2026-27 budget fully funds Community HealthWorks, preserving a proven model that connects people to housing, health care, food, employment support, and other stabilizing services.

“In the face of many difficult budget decisions, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors recognizes that Community HealthWorks operates an effective model that continues to produce strong results,” said Kelly Bennett, Founder and CEO of Community HealthWorks.

Over the past three years, CoHeWo has helped 1,362 people move into permanent housing, 190 into transitional housing, and 1,261 into shelter.
These investments lead to trusted, community-based support.

CoHeWo is here to help our community maintain access to nutritious food across Sacramento County.

A new round of reductions to CalFresh eligibility took effect last week. New work requirements, reduced exemptions for some of California's most vulnerable residents, and stricter rules for some individuals mean that many people who relied on food assistance may now face new barriers.

Our community health workers have helped hundreds of Sacramento residents navigate CalFresh enrollment. As these changes take effect, our team is ready to help people understand what’s changed, see what programs they may be eligible for, and get support applying for the food assistance and resources they need.

Our offices will be closed on Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day.
