Title
Discussion and action for the City of El Paso to use $500,000 of its funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) to partner with Up Together, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, to provide direct unrestricted financial assistance of $500/month for 12 months to resident households facing financial hardship (defined as earning a household income at or below 80% AMI for the local El Paso County area) exacerbated by the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic so that they can build power, reinforce their autonomy, and drive their own economic and social mobility.
