About the program

New York City COVID-19 Immigrant Emergency Relief Program (NYC), the New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, has announced the launch of the New York City Emergency Relief Program. This program is implemented by the city in conjunction with the Open Society Foundations Foundation.

$20 million will be allocated for the implementation of the program. It will cover 20 thousand unemployed immigrants and members of their families. New Yorkers will be able to receive support, regardless of their immigration status.

“Immigrants are the heart of this city; they are our friends, neighbors and colleagues,” the mayor said. “This crisis has shown that it is more important than ever for New Yorkers to take care of each other.”

How it will work

The New York City Hall Immigrant Office and the New York City Hall Promotion Fund will create a network of community-based organizations that will provide direct one-time payments to immigrant families.

Funding will cover up to 20 thousand illegal immigrants and their families who lost their jobs due to the epidemic and faced financial difficulties.

Payout amounts:

  • $400 – belongs to one person;
  • $800 - for a couple or single parent with children;
  • $1000 – for a family with several adults and children.

The network of organizations will also inform immigrants about other forms of assistance and resources - food stamps (SNAP), emergency food delivery programs and others.

3,1 million immigrants live in New York. They make up about 37% of the city’s population and 44% of its workforce, including approximately 360 thousand illegal workers and 48 thousand undocumented business owners.
