The Mother with that dependent infant likely will be provided with a housing voucher for government subsidized housing; Food Stamps; CalFresh Food aid/benefits; Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP); CalWorks program; Aid for Dependent Children; a monetary stipend of several hundred dollars; and, most important, Medi-Cal as well as medical care for that infant as it is highly unliikely that this infant has received the proper medical care nor has received all the requisite infant immunizations and vaccinations for infant illnesses as required by the State of California which could cause infant mortality. That infant probably needs immediate medical attention.
