The California CW 74 form plays a crucial role in the process of securing Temporary Shelter (TS) payments for individuals seeking Permanent Housing (PH). This form is designed to document the efforts made by individuals in their search for permanent housing while receiving temporary assistance. To qualify for TS payments, applicants must actively look for permanent housing each day they receive support, with a maximum allowance of 16 consecutive days. Each day, individuals are required to engage with potential landlords or property managers, ensuring they maintain a record of these interactions. If a day passes without contact, individuals can compensate by reaching out to two contacts the following day. The form also necessitates proof of how TS payments were utilized for shelter, emphasizing the importance of accountability in the housing search process. Additionally, applicants must provide details about each contact, including the date, address, and reasons why a rental opportunity may not have been successful. By signing the form, individuals authorize the County to verify the information provided, reinforcing the commitment to finding permanent housing.
