A Century of Impact: 100 years of CWDA

For 100 years, the County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA), on behalf of our member counties, has led the transformation of California’s health and human services systems alongside state leaders, advocates, and community partners. From vital programs like CalFresh to Medi-Cal, IHSS to CalWORKs, we have driven innovation and improved service delivery in ways that make a tangible difference for millions of Californians’ ability to put food on the table, access health care, age in their own homes, and thrive.
