Block Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The purpose of the proposed project National Alianza Relief Support for Vulnerable Essential Workers is to deliver relief in the form of 600 flat rate payments to 69,249 eligible farm and meatpacking workers who incurred expenses preparing for, preventing exposure to, and responding to the COVID 19 pandemic. The workers all fall within one or more of the worker occupations listed as eligible beneficiaries by the federal government's Standard Occupation Classification System.
The project, led by a national organization, will target workers in 15 states where the 15 project partners have long-established ties with food and farm worker communities (AL, AZ, CA, DE, FL, IN, KS, MD, MI, NC, NY, OR, SC, TX, WI). This relief is intended to defray costs for reasonable and necessary personal, family, or living expenses, including costs for personal protective equipment (PPE), expenses associated with quarantines and testing, and dependent care.
The project will be implemented by Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, the lead agency, and four of its member organizations: Campesinos Sin Fronteras, Lideres Campesinas, Rural Coalition (a national organization, with 10 subpartners), Workers Center of Central New York. All of whom are community-based, have worked together for many years, and who all have built strong working relationships with a multiplicity of stakeholders in their respective states, including community-based organizations, farms, nurseries, ranches, places of worship, civil rights organizations, schools, recreation programs, universities, health clinics, health departments, businesses, federal agencies (OSHA, EPA, USDA, HRSA), public officials, Mexican consulates, and media outlets.
