Californians struggling to juggle going to work at hospitals, fire stations and grocery stores while worrying about child care are the intended beneficiaries of a new executive order Gov. Gavin

Newsom signed over the weekend.

Amid the COOVID-19 pandemic, the order will allow state agencies to waive regulations, offer state-subsidized child care and placement priority to parents deemed essential workers, and allow some after-school child care options to See CHILD CARE page 2

As if having to monitor their blood sugar wasn’t enough of a concern, people with diabetes are more likely to develop complications from coronavirus. It is one of the underlying conditions medical experts say put people most at risk of severe COVID-19. These include diabetes, heart disease, and chronic lung disease.

“When I go out, I have to put on a mask and gloves,” said Gwendolyn Hayes, a 63-year-old grandmother from El Cajon in East San Diego County. Hayes says she’s doing her best to protect herself during this pandemic while also managing Type 2 diabetes.

African Americans have been notoriously undercounted. California Black Media (CBM) has released their updated and comprehensive, “Counting Black California-Counting the Hard to Count” study, identifying areas in the state where African Americans are least likely to be counted by the 2020 Census. The study examined 16 socio-economic variables among Black residents of census tracts throughout the state considered the “least likely to participate” and “less likely to participate”— classifications that are used by the Census.

The report features online, interactive maps that show 41 distinctly African American-populated areas, scalable down to the street level. The maps can serve as

With the official launch of the 2020 Census effort last week—especially given the significant challenges presented by the Coronavirus—the study is intended to help hit the target areas that will more than likely not respond to the states’ first push to reach residents to respond.

“We risk being undercounted because the Census is overshadowed by today’s crisis, but being undercounted means having less resources to battle tomorrow’s crisis as well. We hope this report will allow outreach organization’s to better pinpoint where our most vulnerable Back people live,” said Regina Wilson, CBM’s executive director.

The study was commissioned by CBM and authored by Walter Scott Hawkins, who spent 30 years in the California State University System, including serving as Director of Research & Policy Analysis at CSUSB. See CENSUS page 2

be open during what used to be regular school hours.

“This is a matter of paying for it or matching up child care with essential workers who need it,” said Kim Kruckel, executive director of the Child Care Law Center in Berkeley. “What the governor’s order does is make it possible for our state agencies to use federal and state child care money to pay for the child care of the children of essential workers.”

Essential workers are responsible for hundreds of thousands of children in California. Health care workers alone have more than 305,000 children under the age of 12, according to an analysis using U.S. Census data done by researchers from Yale University and Colorado State University. And all those children require care.

Kruckel said she thinks there are enough licensed child care operators to meet the need without waiting for new pop-up centers. There are 10,770 licensed child care centers and 25,940 licensed family child care homes in California, according to statistics from Kids Data, a clearinghouse of child health information in Palo Alto.

It’s unclear if child care for these critical workers will be entirely free — but this opens a pathway for many to qualify for help, Kruckel said. To be financially eligible for state-subsidized child care in California, a household can’t exceed 85% of the state’s median income, or about $70,000 for a family of three, she said.

The state will allow agencies to waive administrative and other rules — cutting paperwork for example — for child care programs, and funding tied to eligibility that might prohibit some families from enrolling.

shed half of his body weight in less than a year, “I was just trying to take every type of precautionary action to ensure that I wasn’t adding to his sickness.”

People with diabetes are not more likely to be infected with COVID-19, but they are more likely to be hospitalized. “You’re at particular risk of the virus running rampant in your body,” said Releford.

When it comes to her own health, despite having a chronic disease that prevents the body from using insulin correctly, Hayes remains upbeat. “If you were to actually see me, you wouldn’t think that I have diabetes. I’m not obese. I feel healthy. I don’t have time to think about what they’re saying on TV. I try not to watch it,” said Hayes.

There are 34.2 million people in the United States living with diabetes, which is more than 10 percent of the country’s total population, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). And African Americans are 60 percent more likely than Whites to be diagnosed with diabetes, according to the Office of Minority Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In California, the ADA estimates more than 4 million people have been diagnosed with the disease.

That’s just over 10 percent of the adult population in the state.

“Diabetes does something quite significant to a body,” said Dr. Bill Releford who specializes in diabetes prevention and treatment at his private practice in Inglewood near Los Angeles. “It compromises your immune system and delays the response of white blood cells to actually attack viruses and even some of the secondary bacteria,” said Releford.

Releford adds, during this health crisis, people like Hayes should pay extra attention to their blood glucose levels and try to limit stress. “Any kind of stress can elevate a diabetic’s blood sugar.” He says high stress levels create a perfect environment for the development of bacteria and viruses such as COVID-19.

in November of 2018. She is also the first Black woman to serve as Chair of the Board of Equalization, the Agency responsible for administering California’s $70 billion property tax system. She’s the youngest constitutional officer serving in California.

Cohen recently shared information with California Black Media to help African Americans in California get up to speed with important government news that directly impacts on our lives, money, health and civil rights. Comments have been edited for space.

California Black Media (CBM): The coronavirus pandemic is clearly impacting the economy. Just how bad is it?

Malia Cohen (MC): It’s bad. The pandemic has turned all of our lives upside down. Just this week, the governor announced that over 1.6 million Californians have filed for unemployment because of the pandemic. Many more will file in the weeks to come. State and local governments will lose revenue needed to maintain vital services. It is a true financial crisis.

CBM: How are our elected leaders responding to the financial crisis?

MC: Our African-American elected leaders in California’s Congressional delegation — Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswomen Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, and Karen Bass — have been working overtime to provide financial assistance. We are fortunate to have our own Congresswoman Maxine Waters serving as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee and Congresswoman Karen Bass serving as the Chair of Congressional Legislative Black Caucus. In the coming days, I look forward to working

Releford says the toll diabetes puts on a body makes it ideal for the communicable disease. “Your immune system is not as responsive and the high-sugar environment is perfect for the further replication and advancement of viruses and bacteria. That’s why the diabetic patient is the perfect storm for something like the COVID-19 virus to wreak havoc — particularly in underserved populations,” said Releford.

CDC analyses of published reports from China and preliminary numbers from the U.S. show that people with diabetes, chronic lung disease, and cardiovascular disease are more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID-19 than people without these conditions.

People with diabetes are also more likely to be admitted into the ICU than people with any other underlying conditions.

“When it is at the sore throat level, your immune system normally would stop it there, but because a diabetic has a compromised immune system, that throat infection is allowed to progress to respiratory infection or even pneumonia or respiratory failure and then, unfortunately, death,” said Releford.

People with heart disease are the next most likely group to land in the ICU while fighting the virus.

And African Americans are diagnosed with heart disease more than any other ethnic group.

Contrary to widespread rumors early on, African Americans are not immune to the novel coronavirus. In Chicago, Detroit, and Milwaukee, for example, African Americans make up the majority of confirmed COVID-19 cases. Still, “there’s less testing and there’s less treatment,” said Releford.

One thing that won’t change: the pre-existing priority for children who have been abused or neglected.

Newsom’s executive order aims to provide clarity for child care providers who’ve asked the state for help figuring out whether to stay open, if they can prioritize the kids of essential workers, and if they can expand their licenses intended for younger kids to also take in school-aged children.

State agencies now say they’ll provide detailed guidance to child care providers about how to limit the number of children grouped together under their care, keep meals and snacks safe, screen the health of staff and children, and ensure the kids practice physical distancing.

Whether school districts will use the executive order to provide child care is unknown.

Releford worries prevention efforts will miss underserved communities. California’s largest cities have not released demographic information about the race of people testing positive for COVID-19. So far, Los Angeles and San Diego counties have reported nearly 6,500 confirmed cases combined.

“Studies have shown that when African Americans engage the health care delivery system with the same symptoms of fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, they are less likely to be tested and treated. So what we are seeing is the same disparities in our health care delivery system are now showing their ugly head with this pandemic,” said Releford.

The California Department of Public Health has partnered with South San Francisco based Verily Life Sciences’ (VLS) Project Baseline. They offer free screenings in Riverside, San Jose, San Mateo and Sacramento counties with priority given to people deemed high risk primarily due to possible exposure as determined by an online questionnaire. VLS, usually referred to as just Verily, is the parent company of Google, Alphabet, Inc’s scientific research organization.

Releford adds, “Make sure that you keep your blood sugars under control. Many people who have diabetes may have an unrealistic appraisal of their health.

The one thing you want to test is human Hemoglobin A1C, which is the marker that we use to determine if you actually have been managing your blood sugar well.”

The CDC also recommends people with diabetes and other underlying health conditions maintain at least a 30-day supply of medication and at least a two-week stockpile of food and supplies.

“I got to hold on to the faith ‘cause what else can I do?

I know that there are people worse off than I am, so I can’t go to the left or right,” says Hayes. “I just got to look straight ahead. I just got to stay positive and stay focused.”

with [them] to provide direct communication about financial relief for our community.

CBM: What about folks who usually don’t file tax returns, and can they get a check?

CBM: What can be done for those suffering financially as a result of the pandemic?

MC: According to the IRS, the website irs.gov/coronavirus is going to publish information about how to file for these coronavirus economic impact checks even if you have not filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019.

MC: IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board filing and payment dates have already been delayed.

The traditional April 15 tax day deadline has been extended to July 15. Individual taxpayers seeking information about their own filing requirements can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and businesses can call 1-800-829-4933. For the California Franchise Tax Board, taxpayers can call 1-800-852-5711.

CBM: What help is coming for a person who just needs money to live on?

MC: Congress approved payments of up to $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 for married couples, and $500 for each qualifying child. Funds will be sent to everyone who filed federal income taxes for either 2018 or 2019, and has an income under $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples.

Checks will be reduced by $5 for every $100 above the $75,000 and $150,000 thresholds. Single filers with incomes over $99,000 and $198,000 for couples are not eligible.

CBM: How are the checks to be distributed?

MC: Via direct deposit to bank accounts.

CBM: What if the IRS does not have my direct deposit information, or if I have moved?

MC: According to the IRS website, “In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.”

CBM: Do you have any other suggestions for persons who need relief?

MC: Yes. Please remember to file for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Young Child Tax Credit if you or your family are eligible.

Here’s how to file. If you have taxable earned income under $30,000, you can file and receive up to $240 if you have no children. If you have one child, the credit could be as high as $1,605. If you have three or more children, the credit rises to $2,982. In California, a taxpayer files Franchise Tax Board Form 3514 California Earned Income Tax Credit along with your state income tax return. To get a copy of Form 3514, go to the Franchise Tax Board website, ftb. ca.gov. Click on “Forms” in the top right of the website. Then, under “Get forms, instructions, and publications” click “Online.” On the next page, where it says “Form Number and/or Keywords” type in 3514.

That will take you to the form for filing the California Earned Income Tax Credit.

Also, you may qualify for the federal IRS Earned Income Tax Credit. To qualify, you must file an income tax return with the IRS (Form 1040), and also be within income guidelines. If you have children, you attached “Schedule EIC” to your Form 1040. To get more information, go the IRS website, irs.gov, click on “Credits and Deductions” at the top of the page.

Then click on “Earned Income Credit (EITC).”

Disparity:

continued from cover

In the county around Milwaukee, where 27 percent of residents are black, nearly twice as many African-American residents tested positive for the virus as white people, figures released this week show.

And in Chicago, where African-American residents make up a little less than a third of the population, more than half with the virus are black. The death toll there is even more alarming: African-American residents make up 72 percent of those who have died.

Data on the race of Americans who have been sickened by the coronavirus has only been made public in a handful of places, and is too limited at this point, experts say, to make sweeping conclusions about the national or long-term picture. But day by day, the emerging statistics show black residents being infected at disturbing rates in some of the nation’s largest cities and states.

Black people are overrepresented compared with white people among those infected in Las Vegas, Connecticut, North Carolina and South Carolina. Many states, including those hard hit by the pandemic — California, New Jersey, New York and Washington — have not provided statewide information about the race of patients.

As for the places where racial data has been tracked and made public, some experts pointed to longstanding structural inequalities as possible explanations for the disparities.

CENSUS:

continued from cover

Hawkins said, “What makes this study unique is that we carefully selected variables that allow us to look solely at Blacks in California. Black communities in California can’t afford another undercount,” Hawkins continued. “We know that the 2010 Census undercounted African Americans across the nation by more than 800,000, and approximately seven percent of young African American children were overlooked by that census.

“Every policy maker and informed community leader understands the significant negative impact that an undercount of that magnitude can have on a community. We launched this study to avoid repeating that mistake; to provide a very detailed roadmap for counting Blacks in California. And importantly, we believe that the methodology can be replicated across the U.S,” Hawkins said.

COMMENTARY:

Who

Gets the Ventilators?

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

Last week there were many food giveaways throughout the San Diego community as many people rallied to help friends, neighbors and strangers in need of food. This week there was another such event at the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Improvement. It was heartwarming to see the army of volunteers creating bags of food which included canned goods, fruits and vegetables. The bags were passed out to a motorcade of some 200 plus families that drove by the distribution points where families popped open their trunks or unlocked the back door of their vehicles as a volunteer

placed the bags of food which, as a precaution, could not be handed to the individuals in the cars.

What made this even more heartwarming was the fact that so much of it was done in the rain, as bags were handed from tables under tents to the people placing them in the cars. The rule was: one food hand out per vehicle, no questions asked, just a request that each car pull forward for the next person in the row.

This event lasted for an hour and a half, the length of time it took to reach the end of the line.

Volunteers came from My Brothers Keeper and Paving Greater Futures,

the Jacobs Center, who provided the location, and a number of brothers and sisters from the community who just wanted to help in the midst of a problem. All will be there for the next event which has already been scheduled. Following the day’s event, some elderly persons had bags delivered to them since they could not come out.

The lines will continue to grow. If you ask the ones making it happen, you would find that they are as glad to help as the recipients getting the food. These are the things that make us a community, and these are the stories that too often are omitted, but not today.

REBUTTAL:

By Francine Maxwell

In the most recent article in the Voice of San Diego, April 3, 2020, the superintendent and the board begin to explain the new on-line process of education for the San Diego Unified School District. Well, better yet, they do NOT explain the process because every other paragraph contradicts what they said in the previous paragraph. The article, like the actors on the school board, states that a “soft launch” of on-line education will begin after spring break and the “actual” on-line learning will begin April 27th. This is ludicrous. Students technically have had no formal education since March 13th…roughly 5 weeks of wasted time.

It behooves one to ask the question of why our school board and its one employee did not elicit the guidance from a school in the SD Unified district, iHigh, that ALREADY HAS on-line learning from K-12?

Why didn’t they just work with iHigh and get the information in a unified way and distribute that information to all teachers? This way the already stressed teachers would at least have a guideline to follow

and could add their own information for further clarity of the lesson being taught. Doesn’t it just make sense to not reinvent the wheel?

of their students to do the best they can in all circumstances. Taking the easy way out is not acceptable in any way, shape or form.

The issue of “grades can only go up” leaves one speechless. Our students from all sectors of the district will suffer greatly from this ridiculous idea. Can you imagine a student that already has good grades will do nothing and even worse, LEARN NOTHING for the remainder of the school year? The students whose parents are not home all day and are having difficulties learning the information, will only become frustrated, quit, and just keep the mediocre grade they have earned up until now. Again, NO LEARNING will take place. Our school board is famous for not following rules and regulations set up by the state and this is clearly an example of another rule they intend on breaking. Article 3, of the Ed Code 49066, states: “teachers, NOT the school district and/or superintendent of such district shall not order a student’s grade to be changed”. Therefore, ONLY teachers can give grades. Why would a teacher want to give an exemplary student a mediocre grade because the student decides to just “opt out” of learning until the end of the school year? Teachers, by design, want ALL

Then there is of course, the school board begging for more money!

When will there be enough money to stop you from asking for more?

Our households are now struggling to deal with this surreal situation we find ourselves in and yet you have the nerve to ask for more money?

Seriously? The state gave you money. Use it wisely. The question still unanswered is where is the excess money you already received for the ADA per student until the remainder of the year? What did you spend all that money on? Because the daily use of the school is significantly less since NO one is on the campus. Bills will be less, etc. Where is that excess money going?

Time and time again SD Unified School District under the leadership of Cindy Marten, has proven how incompetent it is through all the mishandling of money, personnel and student needs. The current crisis situation only intensifies the need for the community to demand a better plan for our students than this hodgepodge of ideas put together by these incompetent so-called educators.

The “big and bad” United States is seeing its world dominance recede. We are being vanquished both by a virus and by the ignorance of the “Commander in Chief.” We now know that there are not enough tests to detect the coronavirus, nor enough ventilators to treat all of those who are ill. Medical professionals are talking openly about the choices they will make and the fact that some people will be judged more likely to survive than others.

The National Academy of Medicine describes itself as “an independent, nonprofit organization that works outside of government to provide unbiased and authoritative advice to decision-makers and the public” On its website, it acknowledges “evidence of racial and ethnic disparities in health care.” Will this evidence influence the distribution of ventilators?

People will need these ventilators to breathe. They may need them for weeks, not days. Some will survive, and some won’t. The survival rate is a function of the bizarre avoidance our so-called leaders make decisions about this pandemic. But who will be saved? An innocent infant or the despot who lives in the house that enslaved people built?

Dr. Dorothy Irene Height was 98 when she died in 2010. She was productive until her final days. In her own words, she was “dressed and in her right mind” until the end.

Through which lens will these medical professionals decide who gets a ventilator? Will age be the only lens, advantaging a 30-year-old over an 80-year-old?

Will there be other filters? Will a man with children get preference over a single woman? An author over a homeless person?

A white person over a person of color? Medical professionals are being asked to choose and to judge. How will their conscious or unconscious bias play a role in their judgments?

a stroke, still gives her children strength and love, smiles, and sharp reprimands (yes, the lady hit me when I used profanity in her presence. Whose life would I trade that for?)

We must not forget the many ways that Black bodies were used for medical experiments, from the use of Black women’s genitalia to develop gynecology through the Tuskegee syphilis studies that lasted from 1932 through 1972.

Black people’s lives have too often been white people’s experiments.

It is not paranoid, but merely cautious, to wonder who will get the ventilators, and whose needs will be sidelined. Now the words “Black Lives Matter” take on a more pointed meaning.

This coronavirus illustrates our nation’s faultlines by class race and gender. The coronavirus also refutes the notion of our nation’s exceptionalism. The United States just ain’t all that, despite our “greatest” rhetoric. We are stumbling compared to other countries – Italy, China, Spain – who have attempted, generously, to show us the way forward.

One of the populations I’ve heard very little about is incarcerated people. How do you socially distance when you are confined, with another person, in a small cell?

Given our collective disdain for the incarcerated, will an incarcerated person with coronavirus have a chance?

Incarcerated people aren’t the only people at risk. All marginalized people are, in one way or another, at risk. Ventilators cost between $25,000 and $50,000 and even more when there is competition to obtain them. Will hospitals with limited resources be able to obtain ventilators? Those who are income-challenged are more likely to go to hospitals that are under-resourced. Lower-income people are at greater risk and have less access to quality health care.

The coronavirus will hit princes and paupers, members of Congress and members of the clergy, computer whizzes and those who don’t have computers. We may all be at risk from the coronavirus, but class, race, and gender will likely determine who has the best chance at recovery. We can’t call ourselves “great” unless we are fair. Will everyone have a chance to recover from this virus?

Private Service was held on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary; interment at Miramar National Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

CARNELL DELANE was born to Rosie Woods in Crockett, Texas, on November 1, 1931 and was an only child. He began and completed his education in the Trinity Colored School system in Trinity, Texas. He was raised by his godmother, Ms. Novella York, affectionately known as “Aunt Ducy”. After high school, Carnell joined the United States Navy. His tours of duty included serving in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He served on both ships and submarines and being in the Navy afforded Carnell to visit many naval bases around the world and the United States of America. He received the Vietnam Service Medal and Bronze Star Medal for good conduct. After serving more than 20 years, Carnell retired from the Navy, and ultimately settled in San Diego, California. His career as a Food Services Manager stemmed greater than 40 years in the Navy and as a Civilian on San Clemente Island. Carnell loved to party, loved to entertain and he was a sharp dresser and had lots of friends. Everyone called him “Delaney”, but he was known to tell you his name was “Johnny Bledsoe”. He really got a big kick out of asking you for $2.00 “until he could see further” or if you had any money. He was so convincing that he needed it, that people would comply. He would always give it back to you though. Carnell attended Macedonia Baptist Church, where he was baptized. He was a Christian and a devoted member. He attended church every Sunday until his health failed. Carnell leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife, Marian Delane, his children Bobby Delane, Deborah Henderson, Rosalyn Delane-Gilliam (Gregory), and Talitha Stewart (Kareem) his granddaughter Michelle Lockett and great grandchild, Carnell Michael Lockett, also a host of other relatives, friends and many more.

You’ve spent decades pushing menthols into Black communities with cheap prices and slick advertising.

And the worst part is, you think you can keep getting away with it.

Coronavirus Testing

in California: Here’s What You Need to Know Voice & Viewpoint Newswire Coronavirus testing has been plagued by confusion, delays and chaos, with the number of available, usable tests far outstripped by the need. Gov. Gavin Newsom says, however, that help is on the way, from university medical centers, private labs, the tech sector and more. Here’s what you need to know:

ing is the patchy guidance around whom to test. It differs across California’s counties, private testing companies, and health systems. Guidelines vary from county to county, and local public health departments are required to approve the tests run through their labs.

Generally, priority goes to hospitalized patients and people experiencing symptoms who also have additional risk factors. Risk factors include: • being over 60 years old • having heart or lung disease • being immunocompromised Those exposed to a confirmed case of the coronavirus or who have recently traveled to an affected country will also be prioritized. Domestic travel is not currently a factor under consideration.

tor’s office and ask if they’re testing. If your doctor is not doing testing, try calling your local urgent care. Do NOT go to the emergency department for testing. San Diego and Los Angeles Counties ask people who do not have a primary care provider to call the 2-1-1 line for information on where they can find providers with tests.

Is testing free? What if you’re uninsured?

I n Ma rch, C a l i for n ia Governor Gavin Newsom announced that screening and testing fees would be waived for about 24 million Californians. That includes co-pays and deductibles for a hospital and doctor office visit associated with the test, but does NOT include further treatment and care.

Newsom’s order does not apply to people who work for large employers and/or whose private health plans are regulated by the federal government. There is an emergency coronavirus

response bill pending in Congress that might require testing and related fees be covered by insurance without out-of-pocket costs for the patient. The California Department of Public Health has said that people who are uninsured and have symptoms should contact their local health department for information on how to get tested.

Some health clinics, like the AltaMed group in Southern California, are waiving test fees even for patients who are uninsured, but tests are only given to people who are showing symptoms. Clinics can still help enroll patients in available county programs that may cover fees.

What will a coronavirus test actually tell me?

The current test for the novel coronavirus looks for the virus itself by identifying the virus’s genetic code. This can tell you if you have an active infection. What they cannot tell you is whether you’ve

been infected and recovered.

Unfortunately for researchers, that data is key for understanding the outbreak and just how lethal it really is.

Can we track the virus?

Researchers across the world are working on developing another kind of test that looks for antibodies. Called a serological test, it would allow scientists to search out people who have recovered from the virus without ever going to a hospital. The goal is to survey communities to find out how far the virus spreads, and for how long. The CDC is working on developing two of these tests and scientists in Singapore have already used a serological test to track the outbreak.

Here in California, UC Irvine has teamed up with SinoBiological to create tests that can hunt for antibodies to nine different infectious agents, including other coronaviruses like SARS and MERS.

1939-Marian Anderson performs

at the Lincoln Memorial

Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was one of the best American contraltos of all time. She was the first AfricanAmerican singer to perform at the White House, and the first African American to sing with New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In 1939, Anderson sang “My Country, ‘Tis of Marian Anderson Thee” before 75,000 people outside the Lincoln Memorial in D.C. The site was chosen because Constitution Hall, owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution, had a staunch “whites only” policy. Never a civil rights activist, Anderson nonetheless believed prejudice would disappear if she performed and behaved with dignity.

1950 -Juanita Hall becomes first AfricanAmerican Tony Award winner

Juanita Hall (née Long, 1901 1968) was a classically trained American musical theatre and film actress. The Juilliard School graduate is best remembered for her role as Bloody Mary in the original stage and screen Juanita Hall versions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific. In 1950, Hall became the first African American to win a Tony Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role.

COVID-19 TEMPORARY EVICTION MORATORIUM

Your Eviction Protection

RECAP: IN CASE you missed it last week

Remember: Always reach out to your landlord, via text, email or USPS, to explain your circumstances

City of San Diego COVID-19 Temporary Ban on Evictions

FEDERAL CARES Act Eviction Protection The CARES Act, signed into law Mar. 27, 2020, provides 120 days of eviction relief for tenants in federally-backed housing. You may not be served with an eviction notice until July 25, 2020 and the notice must give you 30 days to leave the property (Aug. 24, 2020).

You are exempt for all late fees, penalties, or other charges for paying your rent late. Note: You are still obligated to pay your rent. The CARES Act merely forbids your landlord from evicting you during that late payment period.

CARES Act Tenant-Based Rental Assistance The CARES Act provides the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with an additional $17.4 billion in funding including monies for rent assistance, housing vouchers, public housing, and housing for the elderly. For help contact HUD Rental Assistance.

CARES Act Indirect Assistance The $2.2 trillion CARES Act legislation also provides financial assistance that can help with housing costs, since how you use the money is not specified.

Expanded Unemployment Benefits Your eligibility for unemployment insurance is expanded if you lose your job due to COVID-19. After your regular state benefits expire you may receive up to an additional 13 weeks of benefits. Unemployment benefits also cover people not normally eligible: independent contractors, part-time employees,or members of the gig economy.

Fannie Mae Disaster Response Network Fannie Mae’s Disaster Response Network has a guide for renters affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Call 877-542-9723 to access the Disaster Response Network and get assistance from a HUD-approved housing advisor.

STATE On March 16, 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order authorizing local governments to halt evictions for renters and homeowners, slow foreclosures, and protect against utility shutoffs for Californians affected by COVID-19.

COUNTY Tuesday, March 24, 2020, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a temporary eviction moratorium - retroactive to March 4 - for residentials and small business in San Diego’s unincorporated areas affected by COVID-19. Note: County requirements vary slightly from the City’s. Be sure to check with a local renter’s aid organization for the facts.

To help San Diego residents who are experiencing financial hardships due to COVID-19 pandemic, the San Diego City Council on March 25, 2020, adopted a temporary ban on evictions in the City of San Diego related to COVID-19.

This means that landlords cannot take action to evict a tenant for not paying rent that was due on or after March 12, 2020, if the tenant is not able to pay because of the financial effects of COVID-19.

The temporary ban on evictions lasts until May 31, 2020, unless the City Council takes action to extend it.

Two days after the City Council action, California Governor Gavin Newsom on March 27, 2020, also ordered a statewide temporary ban on evictions:

Requirement for Tenants • A tenant must notify their landlord in writing that they are not able to pay their rent in a timely manner because of COVID-19. (Email and text communication are valid forms of written notice.)

• SAMPLE LETTER here: www.sdhc.org/evictionban • This written notice must be provided to the landlord on or before the date the rent is due.

• Within one week of providing this notice to the landlord, the tenant must provide the landlord with documents or objectively verifiable information that the tenant is unable to pay rent because of the financial effects of COVID-19. (Examples of documentation: note or letter from employer regarding tenant’s loss or substantial reduction in employment; payroll records showing substantial loss of income due to COVID-19; bank statements that illustrate a drop in income; or other documentation that proves that tenant has not been generating the same level of income due to COVID-19. A tenant may also show substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses related to COVID-19.)

• If a tenant does not provide the required documents/information within one week, a landlord may pursue an enforcement action that is allowed by state or local laws.

• If a tenant moves while the City of San Diego’s temporary ban on evictions is in effect, all rent owed is due when the tenant moves out, unless the lease says this will be handled differently.

• Tenants who are protected from evictions by the City of San Diego’s Ordinance have up to six months from the date the ordinance is effective (March 25, 2020 – September 25, 2020) or the date Governor Newsom’s executive order is withdrawn, whichever occurs soonest, to pay their landlords all unpaid rent.

Examples of Financial Effects of COVID-19 Financial effects may result because of COVID-19 or any governmental response to COVID-19, including public health orders. These effects may include: • Substantial decrease in household income (residential tenant) or business income (commercial tenant) due to a business closing • Loss of work or hours of work • Substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses

Tenants’ Rights Tenants who have questions about their legal rights or pending eviction actions may call: • Legal Aid Society of San Diego 877-534-2524 • Tenants Legal Center (858) 571-7100 The ordinance adopted by the City Council states that the protections the ordinance provides may be used as an affirmative defense in any unlawful detainer action through which a landlord may try to evict a tenant.
