E-Board To Allocate Relief Funds

The Oregon Legislature’s Emergency Board is expected to allocate more than $30 million in coronoavirus relief funds during a virtual meeting Thursday morning.  Funds will be dedicated to support workers and small businesses, as well as provide housing assistance to vulnerable Oregonians.  $12 million dollars will go to safe shelter and rental assistance, $10 million to the Oregon Worker Relief Fund for payments to workers ineligible for traditional unemployment insurance programs or cannot qualify due to immigration status, $10 million to establish an assistance program for small businesses with no more than 25 employees impacted by COVID-19 economic restrictions that have not received support from the federal CARES Act, and $2 million for emergency housing for victims of domestic and sexual violence.  Additionally, the Emergency Board will increase federal spending limits to access relief in the CARES Act.
