The following is a statement made by Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes regarding passage of the $7.6 Billion COVID Relief Early Budget Package:

 “The California Legislature voted on the passage of a $7.6 Billion COVID Relief Package that will provide critical financial support to Californian’s in need and small businesses.

Through the leadership of Governor Newsom, Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins and Speaker Anthony Rendon California has risen to the challenge to provide vital relief to essential workers, families, and our small businesses.  This package of legislation sets a broad and solid foundation for our state’s economic recovery, a recovery that must benefit all Californians.

I commend the leadership of Speaker Anthony Rendon and the members of the Assembly for their commitment and resolve on the topic of economic and social recovery. Working together, I am confident we will ensure recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will be both inclusive and equitable.”

$7.6 Billion COVID-19 Relief Early Budget Package Highlights:

  • Housing for the Harvest:$24 million to support the Housing for the Harvest program to provide shelter and aid for farmworkers impacted by COVID-19.
  • Support for Small Businesses:Provides an additional $2.1 billion in additional funding for state’s COVID relief small business and non-profit program, which is in addition to the $500 million started by the Governor and the Legislature in December, totally $2.6 billion in funding.  This funding provides grants to small businesses and non-profits.
  • Federal Child Care Funds:$400 million in available federal funds to provide stipends of $525 per enrolled child for all state-subsidized child care and preschool providers serving approximately 400,000 children in subsidized care statewide. The new federal resources will extend care for children of essential workers through June of 2022, and increase access to subsidized child care for more than 8,000 children of essential workers and at-risk children – who are not currently served in the system — through June of 2022.
