As of July 1st, the fund has disbursed $8.6 million in payments.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/innovationlawlab.org\/media\/OWRF-Interim-Report-JUNE-4-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anonymized data compiled by Innovation Law Lab<\/a> shows that more than 5,000 individuals have received aid, with payments averaging $1,712.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThousands of Oregon immigrants have lost their livelihoods due to COVID-19 and Congress has intentionally excluded them from financial assistance programs,\u201d said OWRF Chair Martha Sonato. \u201cEach day, we receive hundreds of applications for assistance and we don\u2019t have the resources to offer relief to all those who need it. The need for financial support \u2014 from the state, from foundations, and from private donors \u2014 is as great today as it was in May.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Oregon Worker Relief Fund is the result of collaboration between Causa Oregon, PCUN, Latino Network, Innovation Law Lab, MRG Foundation, Lower Columbia Hispanic Council, and APANO, along with more than 100 community partners across the state. Funds are disbursed to immigrants in Oregon who are facing financial hardships due to COVID-19, but were excluded from federal stimulus relief or Unemployment Insurance due to their immigration status. Navigators from 20 community-based organizations are processing thousands of applications each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe longer this pandemic lasts, the more families it impacts, with a disproportionate burden on immigrant communities across Oregon,\u201d said Causa Oregon Executive Director Adriana Miranda. \u201cDespite the progress we\u2019ve made in issuing relief payments, most applicants have been waiting five weeks or more since they lost income. The more support we receive from local officials, businesses, and the community, the more people we can help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OWRF Chair Martha Sonato and Causa Oregon Executive Director Adriana Miranda are available for interviews about the statewide effort to distribute payments directly to immigrant Oregonians and the continued need for financial relief.\u00a0 To schedule an interview, please contact Mike Westling at <a href=\"mailto:mike@brinkcomm.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mike@brinkcomm.com<\/a> or 503.498.8161.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Most relief recipients work in essential industries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oregonians receiving relief through the OWRF are among the state\u2019s essential workers, with the majority of relief recipients working in food service and agriculture and significant portions working in the janitorial industry, construction, and child care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full breakdown of relief recipients by employment industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Food Service<\/td><td>37%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Agriculture<\/td><td>21%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Janitorial &amp; Housekeeping<\/td><td>20%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Construction<\/td><td>8%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Child Care<\/td><td>3%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Other<\/td><td>11%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OWRF coalition has developed an innovative, rapid-response infrastructure to reach community members across the entire state while adhering to all public health recommendations. The fund has delivered aid rapidly while maintaining data security and privacy. To date, 29% of payments have been delivered instantly by mobile phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oregonian immigrant families served in the first two months by the OWRF ranged in size from single-person households to large families: 81% supported minor children; 63% had at least two dependent minor children; separately, 73% had dependent adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe consequences of this pandemic for immigrant Oregonians are heartbreaking,\u201d said OWRF SPOKESPERSON from CBO. \u201cMany families in our area are struggling to put food on the table or pay their rent. One mom told me she might need to sell her car to be able to feed her kids, but she worried that would mean she couldn\u2019t get to work once COVID restrictions are lifted.
