Californias $75 million Disaster Relief Fund will support undocumented Californians impacted by COVID-19 who are ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits and disaster relief, including the CARES Act, due to their immigration status. Approximately 150,000 undocumented adult Californians will receive a one-time cash benefit of $500 per adult with a cap of $1,000 per household to deal with the specific needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals can apply for support beginning next month.
The states Disaster Relief Fund will be dispersed through a community-based model of regional nonprofits with expertise and experience serving undocumented communities.
In addition to the $75 million in state funding, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), a network of foundations focused on immigration issues, has committed to raising $50 million to support direct financial assistance to families of undocumented immigrants through the California Immigrant Resilience Fund, with initial lead investments of $5.5 million from Emerson Collective, Blue Shield of California Foundation, The California Endowment, The James Irvine Foundation, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and an anonymous donor, among others. Those interested in supporting this fund can donate at www.immigrantfundCA.org.

You just can't make this up.
I've gotta make that move to Texas
Mr President deduct 125 million of our tax dollars from their funding!
$125M? That’s a slap in the face to any self respecting illegal.
Shame, Shame, Governor.
Well with everything shut down the illegal aliens need money. Otherwise they might go home, and then the democrat party loses a lot of voters.
They shouldve disqualified right here and now from ANY federal assistance even forest fires or whatever. They have money to piss away.
No wonder Newsome was being so chummy, he planned to do something wrong and hoped no one would notice.
So supposedly the federal government already has plans of troops to physically stop the waves of Mexican border crashers coming to flee the totally collapsed health system once the virus gets out of control soon.
Now the idiot Newsom tempts them all the more with free money if they come here illegally!! Then he’ll feign shock when thousands crash the border to grab the cash. Fool.
I’m not surprised in the least that the California government would do this.
But it still pisses me off.
Sigh.
Wonder how long that they will be willing to do this? I suspect that Trump will be unwilling to bankroll California in this effort.
Newsome proves he is as communist rotten Democrat.
California is not part of America 2.0
Has California been part of the USA since Reagan?
You beat me to it.
ML/NJ
What’s an “undocumented Californian”?
Is that like an “illegal citizen”?
What is the cost per vote by these illegals?
Is the list of recipients going to be a public record that is available to ICE?
The left hates ALL Americans as they put illegals and third world scum to the top but the liberals will still vote for them. It is pure insanity brought on by generations of social conditioning.
Considering how many illegals they have isn’t that like $10.00 a head?
Help the citizens first.
I don’t recall voting for this. Is it in the governors authority to give tax payer funds to illegals?
