Help agricultural workers protect their employment rights this summer! Please join us for a Zoom presentation on important changes on Thursday, June 20th in English (9:00 am) and Spanish (10:30 am).

Starting at the end of June, there will be strengthened protections for H-2A visa workers and local workers who are working on jobs with H-2A contracts. In the presentation, we will cover the highlights of these changes and other key protections such as minimum wage, overtime pay, paid leave, and health and safety protections.

This training is for advocates and agency staff who help farmworkers. Come learn so you can share this information with the families and workers in our communities in Oregon. See Zoom links and times below:

¡Ayude a los trabajadores agrícolas a proteger sus derechos laborales este verano! Únase con nosotros para una presentación de Zoom sobre cambios importantes el jueves 20 de junio en inglés (9:00 am) y español (10:30 am).

A partir de finales de junio, se fortalecerán las protecciones para los trabajadores con visa H-2A y los trabajadores locales que trabajan en empleos con contratos H-2A. En la presentación, cubriremos los aspectos más destacados de estos cambios y otras protecciones clave, como el salario mínimo, el pago de horas extras, las vacaciones pagadas y las protecciones de salud y seguridad.

Esta capacitación es para defensores y personal de las agencias que ayudan a los trabajadores agrícolas. Venga a aprender para que pueda compartir esta información con las familias y los trabajadores de nuestras comunidades en Oregón. Vea los enlaces de Zoom y los horarios a continuación:

The monthly benefit for each eligible child is $40, or a summer total of $120.

Children are eligible if:

  *   Their household already participates in SNAP, TANF or OHP
  *   They go to a school that offers the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP) and their household meets the income requirements for free or reduced-price meals
  *   They attend a school that offers the NSLP or SBP and is enrolled in migrant programs, experiencing homelessness, participating in Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, or attending Head Start

About 70% of children will have streamlined access to Summer EBT, but around 30% will need to apply. Summer EBT payments should begin in June of this year.

Check out the ODHS Summer EBT website in Spanish<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/es/alimentos/Pages/ebt-de-verano.aspx> and Summer EBT website in English<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx> for more information on the Summer EBT program. See attached EBT Article for more new information.

[cid:image019.png at 01DA6EEE.6DBBFFC0]<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter>Lane County Shelter Finder SITE is now live

The Shelter Finder can be found via the Lane County Shelter Finder website<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter> or Lane County Housing Help website<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/housinghelp>.

This website is intended to help those in our community seeking shelter either for themselves, or for someone else, know what shelters have beds available on a given night and what criteria there are for accessing those shelters.

Those accessing the site can filter through the shelters based on unique needs and be pointed in the direction of those shelters that best meet those needs. Additionally, by clicking on the bed icons located on the embedded map, site visitors can see information about the shelters including pictures, intake information, what they can expect when accessing and other important details.
