Hello Friend,

I hope you and your family or friends are doing well, staying home, and
staying safe. It’s been a busy, hectic, and productive week for us! There
were some incredible digital events and continued work on our [ [link removed] ]Resource
Guide.
Social distancing has given our communications and digital work new
meaning. I would like to personally invite you to take another look at our
[ [link removed] ]Resource Guide (also available in [ [link removed] ]Spanish) which has been
continually updated by our staff and partners to reflect new programs,
resources, and outlets that might be useful for you or someone you know.
New to our guide recently:

* [ [link removed] ]Senator Cortez Masto’s Resource Guide
* [ [link removed] ]DETR FAQ video guide to unemployment insurance applications

Wednesday, April 1st was national Census Day. In partnership with the
Nevadans Count coalition, we hosted a [ [link removed] ]Census Day Livestream on Facebook
that included local leaders and elected officials. This was an all day
call to action to complete the 2020 Census. If you have not filled out
your Census don’t worry there is still time to self report. Visit
[ [link removed] ]NevadansCount.org to learn how to fill out the census today! 

We’ve also been diligently working with the Governor’s office and leaders
across our state to make sure Nevadans get the relief and assistance they
need during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s a quick recap with some helpful
tips:

* Governor Sisolak issued a [ [link removed] ]“Stay at Home” order starting at midnight
April 1st through April 30th, meaning nonessential businesses will
remain closed.
* The National Guard is activated and ready to assist with the
COVID-19. 
* The Governor [ [link removed] ]also ordered a moratorium on all evictions, late
fees, or other penalties from landlords or mortgage companies. Contact
your landlords or lender to see what options you have. If a landlord
is threatening to evict you, contact Attorney General Ford’s office
immediately at 888-434-9989 or at [ [link removed] ]ag.nv.gov.
* Federally backed student loans [ [link removed] ]were suspended until September
30th, 2020. This means payments have stopped. Interest will not be
accruing during this time. Turn off any auto-pay you have and contact
your employer’s HR if necessary to turn off any garnishments of your
paycheck. 
* 1099 employees can get relief soon due to the CARES Act that will make
them eligible for unemployment benefits. More information can be found
[ [link removed](Coronavirus)_Information_for_Claimants_and_Employers ]here. Funds will not be made available immediately but folks are
encouraged to check with [ [link removed] ]The Department of Training &
Rehabilitation (DETR) regularly for updates. 
* The CARES Act [ [link removed] ]provided expansions to paid sick leave & family
medical leave for employees impacted by COVID19

To delve deeper into some of these topics, we held a [ [link removed] ]Facebook Live
TownHall with State Treasurer Zach Conine. The Treasurer talked about
relief and resources available for homeowners, student loan borrowers and
renters. If you weren’t able to tune in, or want to share the information
with a loved one, [ [link removed] ]click here to watch the event in full! Should you
need additional help with a homeowner or student loan issue, visit
[ [link removed] ]Nevadatreasurer.gov or contact Treasurer Conine’s office at
[ mailto:[email protected] ][email protected]. For student loan questions, email
[ mailto:[email protected] ][email protected]

Nevadans are tough, and by continuing to follow the [ [link removed] ]public health
guidelines set by the Governor and staying home for Nevada, we will
recover once again. For now, use these resources and don’t be afraid to
ask for help or assistance from the agencies, nonprofits, and elected
offices helping our community sustain and heal. We are here to help you so
please reach out to our team if you have questions or need guidance. 

Together we are #NevadaStrong, 

Amber Falgout

Northern Nevada Manager
