In Home Supportive Services

The In home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program will help pay for services provided to you so that you can remain safely in your own home. Having help with tasks around the house not only makes the lives of seniors and the disabled easier, but in some cases, it allows the person to remain in his or her home.
