On Thursday, December 10, CAA held a virtual graduation event for the sixteen participants in the Hospitality and Vocational Training (HVT) Program's2020-21 cohort.
When San Francisco’s shelter-in-place order went into effect in March, CAA staff mobilized to ensure that families in our community received support, particularly those experiencing hardships from loss of income during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CAA has taken the lead to provide COVID-19 relief to undocumented, low-income, immigrant API families who are facing substantial disruption to financial stability, public health, and safety.
Since San Francisco’s shelter in place order has been implemented, CAA’s economic justice staff have remotely helped 130+ limited English proficient Chinese community members with accessing unemployment insurance and employment assistance. We want to highlight the experiences of three of our clients who have been furloughed during this economic and health crises.
