OUR WORK IS ALONG TWO COMPLEMENTARY TRACKS GETTING PEOPLE THE HELP THEY NEED RIGHT NOW AND BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO CHANGE ATTITUDES TOWARD PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY AND THE POLICIES THAT KEEP THEM THERE. GSO LEADS COMPREHENSIVE STATEWIDE CAMPAIGNS TO HELP FAMILIES ACCESS TAX CREDITS AND PUBLIC BENEFITS, ACHIEVE FINANCIAL STABILITY, AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT UPLIFT LOW-INCOME CALIFORNIANS.

Program accomplishments

  • GSO'S INITIAL PROJECT IS A STATEWIDE OUTREACH CAMPAIGN CALLED CALEITC4ME TO ENCOURAGE LOW-INCOME CALIFORNIANS TO CLAIM THE STATE'S EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT AS WELL AS THE FEDERAL EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT. FEDERAL AND STATE-EARNED INCOME TAX CREDITS, WHICH INCENTIVIZE AND REWARD WORK, ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT POVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMS IN EXISTENCE. DESPITE THE EFFORTS OF THESE PROGRAMS, A LARGE NUMBER OF CALIFORNIANS REMAIN IN POVERTY, MANY UNAWARE OF THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM. PROMOTING GREATER PARTICIPATION IN EXISTING PROGRAMS AND ENCOURAGING NEW, INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO FIGHTING CAUSES OF POVERTY WOULD LEAD TO DRASTIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR MANY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES STRUGGLING TO GET BY.
