Dear Friends,

Last month, my colleagues and I passed the American Rescue Plan Act, sending it to President Biden's desk to become law. This bill includes $20 billion for our National COVID-19 Vaccination Program and $7.6 billion to support community health centers in their response to this public health crisis.

Right now, ALL City of L.A. residents age 16 and older are eligible for the vaccine.

The American Rescue Plan Act also contains billions for robust rent relief, including the $235 million that the City of L.A. is using to fund its Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

The city is currently accepting applications from those experiencing unemployment, who lost income, or who are facing financial hardship due to COVID-19. The application portal closes on April 30 at 11:59 pm PT.

For City Terrace residents that live outside city lines, you can access relief through California's rental assistance program, Housing is Key, which is funded with money passed by House Democrats in response to this crisis.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now taking applications for COVID-19 funeral assistance. Relief will be capped at $9,000 per application, and FEMA requires an official death certificate that attributes the death to COVID-19.
