Finding accurate and up-to-date information from trusted sources is a challenge for many immigrants in Los Angeles County. Despite the damaging health and economic impacts of the pandemic on Immigrant households, research from the Urban Institute shows that one in four adults in low-income, immigrant families avoided government benefit programs and other assistance because of immigration concerns.
In light of this, the Los Angeles County Office of Immigrant Affairs or OIA, part of the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, will deliver critical information directly to LA County’s immigrants through a new, private-public initiative.
Through the Immigrant Essential Workers Public Charge Outreach and Education Program, the OIA will partner with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles or CHIRLA to train and deploy a cohort of trusted, culturally and linguistically competent community navigators. These navigators will educate the community about accessing LA County services and how use of these resources relates to the federal government’s public charge rules.
