GR 40-107 – How and
Where a GR Application
is Made
GR 40-107.1 –
Application Processed
in District of Residence
GR 40-107.2 –
Application Processed
For Homeless
Where are applications processed when an
individual has a residence address?
When an individual applying for GR has a residence
address, the application is processed in the district
of residence.
Where are applications processed for homeless
individual using/not using a mailing address?
A GR homeless application is taken at the district
where the individual first arrives to request aid. If
the individual does not provide a mailing address,
the district office is established as both the
residence and mailing address. If the individual
provides a mailing address (other than the district
office), the district of residence remains the
responsible district, unless the individual indicates
he is now homeless in another area outside the
district boundaries.
EXAMPLE:
A homeless individual applies in the Pomona
District but provides a mailing address in Pasadena.
The case remains in the Pomona District. Two
months later, the person reports that he is now
homeless in the South Central area, but his mailing
address remains Pasadena. Pomona transfers the
case to south Central District.
NOTE: The district determined responsible for
processing a homeless individual’s case
continues to be the residence address.
When transferring the case to the
appropriate district, the address must be
changed.
