The amount is "staggering" as one advocate told me. But so is the need.
The $125M will be divided among 150,000 adults ($500 each) and households ($1,000 cap) .
California has about 2 million undocumented people.

It IS something. $500 is several weeks of groceries. But it's not nearly enough to cover the rent somewhere like LA. So we're going to continue to keep hearing for a change to housing policies, a push for mortgage and rent forgiveness.
#RecallGavinNewsom trending. Newsom was probably anticipating that when he pointed out today that undocumented workers paid over $2.5 billion dollars of local and state taxes in 2019
