A major federal funding freeze could soon hit families right here in Lake County. County Social Services Director Rachael Dillman Parsons is joining other county leaders across California in calling for the immediate release of child care and family assistance funds frozen by the federal government. The money supports programs like CalWORKs that many Lake County families rely on to stay housed, fed, and working. Officials say if the freeze isn’t lifted, local services could start feeling the impact within weeks.
