The Public Authority Registry launched an Emergency Back-up Registry (EBR) to assist In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) consumers who have lost their regular IHSS care provider due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The EBR differs from the standard Registry by focusing solely on consumers who need to hire a new care provider because they have either been exposed to COVID-19 or infected by COVID-19, or because the care provider had to stop working for other reasons related to the pandemic, such as not having access to childcare while sheltering-in-place.
An EBR Intake Coordinator is available to answer the phone and assess your situation seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
To learn if your situation qualifies for assistance through the EBR, call (408) 722-8853.
