[Please see other post for the English version]. 📣 ATU está muy emocionada de anunciar “Direct Cash for Altadena Fire Recovery” (Ayuda económica directa para la recuperación tras el incendio de Altadena), un programa de asistencia económica lanzado en colaboración con el Altadena Community Land Trust, NCJWLA y muchos otros grupos comunitarios. El programa proporcionará $36,000 dólares en efectivo sin restricciones directamente a hogares seleccionados de inquilinos con dependientes durante dos años ($2,000 dólares al mes durante los primeros seis meses, $1,500 dólares al mes durante un año y $1,000 dólares al mes durante los últimos seis meses). Además de la ayuda financiera, los participantes tendrán acceso a servicios de apoyo de nuestros socios del programa con el objetivo de fortalecer la recuperación a largo plazo. Esta es una iniciativa contra el desplazamiento destinada a ayudar a los inquilinos de Altadena a poder quedarse y/o regresar a Altadena tras ser desplazados o afectados por el incendio. Este es un programa piloto limitado que ofrece 24 meses de ayuda económica directa a 30 hogares inquilinos elegibles de Altadena que tienen dependientes. Esperamos obtener más fondos pronto para apoyar a más hogares; sabemos que esto es solo una pequeña parte de lo que se necesita. ❤️‍🩹 Por favor, visita nuestra página web (enlace en la biografía) para más información sobre los criterios de elegibilidad y cómo solicitar.

The Direct Cash program will provide $36,000 of monthly, unrestricted cash funds directly to selected renter households with dependents for two years ($2000/month for the first six months, $1500/month for a year, and $1000/month for the final six months). In addition to financial assistance, participants will have access to supportive services from our program partners with the goal of strengthening long-term recovery. This is an anti-displacement initiative aimed at helping Altadena renters be able to stay and/or return to Altadena after being displaced or impacted by the fire. This is a limited pilot offering 24 months of direct cash support to 30 eligible Altadena renter/tenant households with dependents. We hope to get more funding to support additional households soon; we know this is a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed. ❤️‍🩹 Please visit our website (link in bio) for more information about eligibility criteria and how to apply.

Altagether stands united against the unjust and cruel actions of ICE and the federal government. The recent ICE operations are a heartbreaking attack on families and communities. Everyone deserves to live without fear and be treated with dignity and respect. Altagether was founded to support all neighbors in our community while we recover and rebuild. Our beautiful community of Altadena is a diverse and welcoming place. Immigrants are an integral part of community, regardless of status. We stand arm in arm with our neighbors, families, and workers when we say ICE OUT OF DENA. If you or someone you know needs support, please contact CHIRLA’s Immigrant Assistance Line, the California Immigrant Policy Center, or explore the National Day Laborer Organizing Network’s (NDLON) Know Your Rights page.

On Thursday, more than 500 Altadena residents and community leaders - together with allies from across the region - sent a letter to state leaders calling on them to allocate $200 million to ensure that Altadena remains an affordable, diverse community in the aftermath of the devastating Eaton Fire. The funding request - championed by @senatorsrp - would support mission-driven nonprofits who are committed to preserving the economic and racial diversity of Altadena to acquire fire-damaged properties, which could then be redeveloped and sold at affordable prices or maintained as community ownership. *** Video descriptions in alt text Read the full report from SAJE via link in bio.
