Covid-19 Assistance from Catholic Charities.

Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens is offering financial assistance to the families affected by the Covid-19 crisis. The funding is directed to assist vulnerable individuals  who are not covered by the federal stimulus legislation. The goal is to provide families with direct cash assistance as soon as we can identify them.
The criteria will probably be limited to the following:
·        Undocumented residents in NYC who do not qualify for UI, the new federal one-time grants or even SNAP benefits (food stamps)
·        Workers whose main income was cash tips who will only receive half of the pandemic premium
·        Individuals who do not have direct deposit accounts who will wait many weeks for the one-time grants
·        The many low-income New Yorkers who, historically, do not know how to apply for Unemployment or otherwise don’t do so
 
If you know of any worker/ families who needs assistance have them contact John Gonzalez   [email protected] .
