Alliance Heathcare Foundation is helping to financially support both the global and local community. Jewish Family Service of San Diego received a grant from Alliance Healthcare Foundation to help provide services to Ukraine refugees arriving in San Diego County.

Jewish Family Service provides robust immigration legal services in addition to humanitarian and respite shelter for asylum seekers who have been released into the United States by the Department of Homeland Security. Since their founding in 1918, Jewish Family Service has been committed to Welcoming the Stranger–they have assisted and connected thousands of refugees to housing, employment, and education.

Jewish Family Service of San Diego has recently begun serving families — mostly mothers with their children — arriving at the San Diego Rapid Response Network Migrant Shelter after fleeing the war in Ukraine. They are actively assisting with respite shelter, food, transportation services, medical care, and legal services, as needed.

In addition, Alliance Healthcare Foundation is supporting San Diego for Every Child, a local guaranteed basic income pilot project. This pilot project is an economic justice tool to help address the racial and gender inequities that impact the lives of children experiencing poverty. There are now 150 participating families who have received their first payment of $500. They will continue receiving this monthly income over the course of the next two years to spend, save or invest as they want. To learn more and how you can help reduce the experience of child poverty, visit Take Action, San Diego for Every Child.
