To access this financial aid, you must show that you:

  3. You have had financial difficulties due to the pandemic.

To request support:

1.- Call Jewish Family Services of San Diego, the organization in charge of administering aid in Imperial County. Call (760) 206-3242. The call center is open from 8 am to 10 pm seven days a week.

* To check the situation of affectation, you can present a letter from your employer indicating a reduction of working hours or a letter from your children’s school or civil association stating that you are going through a difficult situation.

This aid will only be available until June 30.

It does not constitute a public charge for immigration purposes.

The information provided will not be shared with government agencies.
