Relief Funds
Many immigrant families are excluded from the stimulus funds provided by the CARES Act. Several funds have been established throughout the country to provide cash assistance directly to those families who will not receive that help. You can apply directly to these funds for assistance, or through the community organizations distributing the funds.
