California is now offering support to undocumented immigrants, in the first relief fund of its kind
Starting today, undocumented immigrants in California can begin applying for financial assistance to support them during the coronavirus pandemic -- in the first relief fund of its kind.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the $125 million coronavirus disaster relief fund last month to support undocumented immigrants who were ineligible for federal stimulus checks and unemployment benefits due to their immigration status.
It's the first state funding effort directed at helping undocumented immigrants as the coronavirus pandemic causes financial hardships and spurs unemployment across the nation
.
"Every Californian, including our undocumented neighbors and friends, should know that California is here to support them during this crisis," Newsom said in a statement in April. "We are all in this together."
