805 Undocufund
Ventura and Santa Barbara counties are home to 126,000 undocumented residents – 10% of the region's population. The 805 UndocuFund was launched in 2018 with the belief that during the critical recovery period following a natural disaster, undocumented residents should not be excluded from emergency relief funding made available to all other residents. The 805 UndocuFund is a joint effort of immigrant-serving organizations in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to provide disaster relief to local immigrant families. Direct financial assistance is to help with basic needs, such as covering the cost of childcare related to school closures, and rental assistance.
