Los voluntarios de United Way Bay Area (UWBA) están listos para ayudar a los residentes de bajos ingresos a preparar sus impuestos y a verificar su elegibilidad para la ayuda económica Golden State, un pago único de $600 para familias y personas que califiquen. La ayuda económica Golden State se convirtió en ley este año para apoyar a los californianos de bajos ingresos, especialmente a quienes enfrentan dificultades debido al COVID-19 y a personas indocumentadas que no son elegibles para la ayuda económica federal.
Historias Locales
United Way Bay Area (UWBA) volunteers are helping low-income residents prepare their taxes and check eligibility for the Golden State Stimulus, a one-time $600 payment to families and people who may qualify. The Golden State Stimulus was passed into law this year in order to support low-income Californians, especially those facing hardship due to COVID-19, and undocumented households that are ineligible for federal stimulus payments.
Las personas indigentes y los costos de la vivienda son las principales preocupaciones
¿Qué tan grave es el problema de los indigentes en el Área de la Bahía? Tan malo que ni siquiera un año bajo las garras de la pandemia de COVID podría eliminar la falta de vivienda como el problema más grave que enfrenta la región, según la Encuesta del Consejo del Área de la Bahía de 2021.
Homelessness, housing costs are top concerns
How bad is the Bay Area’s homeless problem? So bad that not even a year under the grip of the COVID pandemic could remove homelessness as the most serious issue facing the region, according to the 2021 Bay Area Council Poll. The poll also found interesting shifts in attitudes about housing and traffic over the past year. Attitudes about the overall direction of the Bay Area remain largely unchanged from last year, with 26% of respondents saying the region is on the right track, half saying the wrong track and 23% uncertain. Economically, the poll found reason for optimism. While 40% of respondents believe the economy is doing worse than it was six months ago, 52% expect the economy will be doing somewhat better (35%) or much better (17%) six months from now.
