PARAMOUNT, Calif. /CALIFORNIA NEWSWIRE/ — In a move to provide support for immigrant families experiencing sudden hardships, the Paramount City Council has established a new Immigration Humanitarian Services Program, reallocating $60,000 in City funds to launch the $100,000 initiative. The City Council unanimously approved the funding during its June 24 meeting, reflecting a proactive and compassionate approach to supporting some of the community’s most vulnerable residents.
The program is designed to assist with essential needs, such as food, medical expenses, childcare, and housing. To protect the privacy and security of families, no funds will be distributed directly to individuals. Instead, services will be delivered through two trusted community partners: Mujeres Unidas Sirviendo Activamente (MUSA) and the Paramount Care Foundation.
Together, these organizations will:
— Purchase and deliver food boxes and essential supplies
— Provide housing and utility assistance where needed
— Host “Know Your Rights” workshops led by the Department of Justice
To request assistance or to learn more, contact MUSA at (562) 334-6868 or info@musa18.org or Paramount Care Foundation at (562) 272-4962 or info@pcf.la.
