Please follow the above link to contact your
members of Congress today and ask them to ensure that the next stimulus package includes:
- $11.5 billion
in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding. This combined with the $4 billion previously provided in the CARES Act will reach the funding level needed to expand access to emergency shelter, short-term rental assistance, and housing stabilization services;
- A uniform, national
moratorium on evictions and foreclosures; and
- $100 billion
in rental assistance to keep people housed and ensure landlords, including low-income housing providers, have the income they need to continue to operate.
Another Action Alert from Chris Suh at Northwest Harvest: Today
is the National SNAP Day of Action. If
you have time, please call, email, tweet Congress and White House to:
- Boost maximum SNAP benefits by 15%
- Raise the minimum SNAP benefit from $16 to $30
- Suspend administrative rules that cut SNAP benefits or alter/eliminate eligibility
