California Workplace Outreach Project (CWOP)
CHD was awarded a $250,000 CWOP Statewide Activator Plus grant by the California Department of Industrial Relations. Through this grant, CHD’s certified bilingual outreach specialists educate workers across Northern California about their workplace rights and labor law protections — meeting workers at the fields, labor camps, community centers, and local events.
CWOP outreach covers wage and hour rights, workers’ compensation, workplace safety, and how to file a complaint with the California Labor Commissioner — empowering farmworkers and low-income workers to advocate for themselves on the job.

Grant Awarded to CHD · Cal OES LISTOS California Grant Program
LISTOS California — Community Resilience & Emergency Preparedness
CHD was awarded the LISTOS California Grant through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to help our most vulnerable and underserved community members build resilience and prepare for disasters before they happen.
LISTOS (meaning “ready” in Spanish) focuses on the communities that face the greatest barriers to disaster preparedness — including farmworkers, seniors, immigrants, and people with limited English proficiency. CHD’s bilingual outreach team delivers hands-on, culturally tailored training on emergency kits, evacuation planning, wildfire preparedness, and how to connect with local emergency resources.
