About KPCB Edge
KPCB Edge publishes plain-language guides to government benefits and assistance programs, from Section 8 and housing help to Medicaid, SNAP, mortgage help and benefits for seniors, so people don't miss out on support they're already entitled to.
KPCB Edge is a private, independent publisher. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government agency, and we do not process benefit applications on anyone's behalf. Our guides point you to the official agency or application for each program.
How we research and update our guides
Eligibility rules, income limits and application steps for these programs change often, sometimes year to year. Every guide links to the official government source for its program and shows the date it was last reviewed, so you can judge how current the information is. Our editorial standards explain how we research and check each guide, how we use AI tools, and how to report a correction.
The same goes for our free tools, income limit pages and courses. Their numbers come from the agencies that set them, not from us, and each page links to the source. They give estimates; only your own housing, SNAP or Medicaid agency can decide whether you qualify.
The pictures on this site
We don't use stock photos of strangers. The photographs and posters you see here are public-domain records of the programs themselves, from the National Archives and the Library of Congress: the first food stamps printed in 1939, the 1965 signing of Medicare and Medicaid, and some of the first public housing in the country. Each one is credited at the foot of every page.
