Worker Resiliency Fund: COVID Cash Aid for In-Need Families
The Worker Resiliency Fund provided supportive services to workers in LA County that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 1,000 in-need families received supportive services and/or prepaid debit cards to meet their basic needs in a time of crisis. This supportive services funding helped workers who had lost most or all of their income due to the pandemic pay for essentials like housing or transportation. Support was also available if workers were looking for additional training or education to get a new job. This program leveraged our America’s Job Centers of California (AJCCs) as well as a network of trusted community-based organizations to reach people that weren’t receiving help elsewhere. The aid was targeted at low-income immigrant and Native American communities that have been historically marginalized. The Worker Resiliency Fund provided essential assistance during an unprecedented pandemic.
