Dedicated Disaster Relief Fund for Farmworkers Affected by Crises.
This law establishes a permanent federal program providing financial and logistical aid to farmworkers who lose income or suffer damage due to natural disasters (like floods, wildfires, or extreme heat) or health crises (like pandemics). Funds will be distributed through experienced farmworker organizations, which can use them for direct financial payments, shelter, and emergency services. This creates a crucial safety net for vulnerable agricultural workers.
