Extra Edition: Rent Relief Catch-22.
In the Central Valley, some of the immigrant families hardest-hit by the pandemic were largely excluded from the government’s rent relief. The reason is many prioritized paying rent over food, medical care or utilities or went into debt and now they are ineligible for the local Emergency Rental Assistance program. A reporter files the story and local and state officials discuss the state and federal guidelines that prevent immigrant families in need from getting the aid.
Guests: Nadia López, News Reporter, The Fresno Bee/Central Valley News Collaborative, Fresno, CA; Miguel Arias, Fresno City Council Member, Fresno, CA (TBC); Others TBC.
