California's state government has made available $75 million to help a projected 150,000 undocumented immigrants weather the coronavirus pandemic.
The state government has made available $75 million to help a projected 150,000 immigrants without legal status weather the coronavirus crisis.
To qualify, applicants must show that they are ineligible for federal assistance programs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the CARES Act or federal unemployment benefits, and that they have endured a hardship from the pandemic. Only adults may apply. ATwelve nonprofit groups are working with the state government to disburse the aid. The groups help applicants determine if they’re eligible for the assistance, apply for it and deliver payment cards to those who receive it.
The funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis until they are spent or June 30 at the latest. In what the state calls a “separate but complementary effort,” nonprofit groups have launched a “California Immigrant Resilience Fund” that aims to raise $50 million. These funds will be distributed in cash payments to immigrants without legal status who qualify for neither federal nor state relief.
