The fund was in part a response to the CARES Act, which excluded millions of taxpaying immigrants from expanded unemployment benefits and cash payments, organizers said.
The recently passed American Rescue Plan allows households with people of mixed-immigration status to access $1,400 stimulus checks, as well as the minority of undocumented immigrants who have Social Security numbers. But workers who file taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number remain ineligible for payments.
Mundel said this expansion of stimulus eligibility and Iowa s newly opened rental assistance program have been a sign of hope for local families. The state program allows international passports as a legitimate form of ID, and the public charge rule won t affect people seeking assistance, which Mundel said makes the aid more accessible to immigrants.

As Greg Zannetti jogs the streets of Rome, it’s almost as if a Bernini sculpture or a Michelangelo masterpiece is breathing.
He’ll pass the Colosseum and seemingly a centuries-old church on every corner.
Sometimes he’ll practice wrestling moves on a grass field with the dome of St. Peter s Basilica draped in the background.
“Today I just went for a run and, to some extent, like running by it, it’s kind of surreal,” Zannetti said in a phone interview, adding a laugh. “Like I can’t believe I’m in Rome. It hits you.”
New Jersey wrestling fans are familiar with the Zannetti name. Greg was nationally ranked at Rutgers and a state finalist for J.P. Stevens High School.
