SLO County UndocuSupport was created in April 2020 during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of providing financial support to local immigrant families, including undocumented and mixed status immigrant families, who were left out of federal pandemic relief programs.

 

As of November 2022, they have distributed $463,000 through their partner agencies for undocumented and other immigrants to assist with rental and utility payments, transportation, groceries, and health needs.

 

In 2022, the SLO County UndocuSupport Coalition adopted a Strategic Plan which has widened the vision of SLO UndocuSupport to move beyond disaster response toward providing sustained, long-term support and advocacy throughout SLO County for undocumented immigrants and their families. 

 

Allies for Immigration Justice participates on the SLO County UndocuSupport Leadership Council.
