ASKTRUST HUB

Trust Hub Network

Research California with the Trust Hub Network

Explore official evidence across movers, mortgage lenders, insurance, senior care, contractors, and investment advisers. AskTrustHub helps consumers discover and navigate the specialist research hubs. No paid placements. No Trust Score. No blanket “verified providers” statement.

Liberal inclusion, conservative attribution, transparent coverage: missing evidence blocks that metric, not the whole state. Unavailable evidence is unknown, not zero. California research is state-level. This page does not publish California county gateways.

All six specialist California research pages are published.

Specialist California research

  • Move Trust Hub

    Movers and household-goods transportation

    • Current regulator is the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Household Goods and Services. CAL-T is not a USDOT number. CPUC is not the current household-goods regulator.
    • Complete CAL-T roster is SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED; licensed-mover denominator is UNKNOWN, not zero. Live FMCSA interstate records with a California business/HQ location: 397 — not California licenses.
    • Official BHGS citations under BPC 19237: 132 rows (120 labeled UNLICENSED by the source, 12 exact CAL-T/T identifiers). A citation is not a revocation. Maximum Rate Tariff 4 is effective 2026-01-01; a tariff is not an actual price. State insurance requirements are filing requirements, not proof of current coverage. Complaint bulk history was not acquired. No profile attachments.

    CAL-T is not USDOT. California intrastate authority is not FMCSA interstate authority. FMCSA ACTIVE is not a California license. A California license is not interstate authorization. A license is not confirmed current insurance. A citation is not a revocation. A tariff is not an actual price. A complaint is not a violation. Complete CAL-T roster is SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED.

  • Lender Trust Hub

    Mortgage lending and housing finance

    • HMDA 2025 California: 1,014,489 applications, 569,218 originations, 175,802 denials (17.33% denial rate). Denial rate is not quality.
    • CalHFA approved-lender directory: 1,414 rows, 193 distinct company names, 1,341 phones, 0 emails, 0 NMLS IDs. Participation is not an endorsement.
    • CRMLA 2024 annual report (Oct 2025): 389 licensees and 5,104 branches as of 2024-12-31. That report is not a current live roster.

    HMDA is not a California mortgage-license roster. Denial rate is not quality. CalHFA participation is not an endorsement. The CRMLA annual report is not a current live roster. An NMLS ID is not current California authority by itself. CURRENT_CRMLA_BULK_ROSTER = SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED.

  • Insurance Trust Hub

    Insurance companies and regulatory evidence

    • DMHC enforcement trend: 5,435 rows. DMHC Independent Medical Review: 42,749 determinations. An IMR is not a finding that an insurer violated the law.
    • CDI dated health-insurer list: 28 companies (phones 28/28, websites 27/28). That list is not all California insurers.
    • DMHC is not CDI. FAIR Plan is residual-market context, not the entire market.

    DMHC is not CDI. An IMR is not a complaint or an enforcement finding, and it does not mean an insurer violated the law. An accusation is not a final finding. FAIR Plan is not the entire market. The 28-company CDI health-insurer list is not all California insurers. NAIC identity is not California authorization.

  • SeniorTrustHub

    Senior care facilities and home-care research

    • ELMS lists 15,097 California locations as of 2026-08-17 (13,401 ACTIVE), with 13,560 facility phones and 12,435 emails in that snapshot.
    • RCFE is 12,522 rows as of 2025-05-25 (7,939 LICENSED). An RCFE is not a nursing home.
    • These universes are not additive. Do not treat them as one California senior-providers count.

    Do not present a combined “California senior providers” number. RCFE is not a nursing home / SNF. HCO is not HHA. CDPH is not CMS. An HCAI record is not a unique new provider. A facility address is not a service area. ARF is researched and not published.

  • Contractor Trust Hub

    Contractors and construction licensing

    • ContractorTrustHub has acquired 75,572 official CSLB public-data rows from the September 2, 2026 portal stream; the stream ended before the complete renewable license file, so the full denominator remains unknown.
    • 67,239 of those acquired rows are CLEAR; 75,483 include a public business phone; 81 classification tokens appear in the acquired stream.
    • CLEAR is a CSLB status, not a TrustHub verification or endorsement.

    Acquired rows are not the complete California contractor universe. CLEAR is not TrustHub verified and is not an endorsement. A vendor is not a CSLB license. PWCR is not a CSLB license. ACQUIRED_PARTIAL_STREAM_TRUNCATED.

    • SEC/IARD overlay shows 2,699 firms with a California principal office. A California principal office is not DFPI / California state registration.

    • DFPI enforcement bulk is NO_BULK_ACQUIRED. CRD is not current California authority by itself.

Questions you can ask

What TrustHub can research

  • ContractorTrustHub has acquired 75,572 official CSLB public-data rows from the September 2, 2026 portal stream; the stream ended before the complete renewable license file, so the full denominator remains unknown. CLEAR status and classifications are in that acquired stream.
  • Senior: ELMS, RCFE, HCAI, HCO, and CMS overlay as separate universes.
  • Insurance: DMHC enforcement and IMR determinations, a dated CDI health-insurer list, FAIR Plan context.
  • Lender: HMDA 2025 California activity, CalHFA directory, CRMLA annual-report context.
  • Investor: SEC/IARD California principal-office overlay and DFPI search context.
  • Move: BHGS/DCA CAL-T household-mover authority, FMCSA California-HQ overlay, BHGS 19237 citations, and Maximum Rate Tariff 4.

What the sources do not establish

  • Acquired CSLB rows are not the complete California contractor universe. CLEAR is not TrustHub verified.
  • An RCFE is not a nursing home. Separate senior universes are not one provider count.
  • An IMR does not mean an insurer violated the law. DMHC is not CDI. The dated 28-company CDI health-insurer list is not all California insurers.
  • HMDA is not a license roster. CalHFA participation is not an endorsement.
  • A California principal office is not DFPI registration. SEC RIA is not state RIA.
  • CAL-T is not USDOT. A California mover license is not interstate authority. A citation is not a revocation. A tariff is not an actual price. A license is not confirmed current insurance.

Cross-hub California situations

Ask can point to more than one specialist. It does not publish a composite score, Trust Score, or ranked “best providers” list.

  • Buying a California house: mortgage activity on Lender Trust Hub, then contractor license research on Contractor Trust Hub. These are separate evidence universes — not a composite score.
  • Helping an elderly parent move: household-goods verification on Move Trust Hub and senior-care research on SeniorTrustHub. A mover license is not a care placement.
  • Wildfire home insurance: Insurance Trust Hub for DMHC/CDI/FAIR Plan context. Residual-market access is not the entire market.
  • A contractor renovating an RCFE: Contractor Trust Hub for CSLB status and SeniorTrustHub for the facility class. A contractor license is not an RCFE license.

California is a multi-source research product

Different hubs have different official source coverage. Some official data is unavailable or partial. The specialist pages show exactly what each source establishes. Missing evidence is not zero. California counties are deferred; this gateway has no county routes.

  • Insurance: complete CDI authorized-insurer bulk roster not claimed from the 28-company health list
  • Senior: ARF researched not published; no combined senior-provider denominator
  • Contractor: truncated CSLB stream; complete renewable-license denominator unknown
