HAPPENING NOW: The Monterey County Board of Supervisors is discussing a temporary eviction moratorium for people impacted by the recent spring storms. The Board will resume its meeting at 10:30am. The Board's agenda and the link to watch along can be found here: monterey.legistar.com/Page.aspx?M=WCommunity Bridges is in full support of the temporary eviction moratorium. It is critical that our local leaders take steps to prevent displacement and relocation in the aftermath of the devastating floods in the Pajaro Valley. ... See MoreSee Less

It has been two weeks since the Pajaro River Levee breach. FEMA has yet to be activated in response to this disaster. The lack of FEMA presence means no grants for temporary housing. Pajaro residents are paying $100-$200 per night to stay in hotels, with no promise of financial assistance nor even future housing or employment. No funding for home repairs or cleanup efforts. Residents arrived home after 12 days to find their homes blanketed in thick and toxic mud, with nothing but calls for donations and volunteers to help them recover from a major disaster.The disparities occurring before our eyes are simply unacceptable. As a community and as a region, we must demand immediate legislative action to ensure the enfranchisement of all residents of our community and region.We urge you to contact your elected officials to ask Gov. Gavin Newsom to work with local lawmakers and bring aid to the Pajaro Valley. This single act may result in more resources for the community than any mutual aid or fundraising effort. The residents of Pajaro deserve the full support of federal, state and local governments to recover from the levee breach to return home to their community.Contact Gov. Gavin Newsom directly: gov.ca.gov/contact/Urge your local legislators to make FEMA assistance available for Pajaro: bit.ly/42DWU9s(Video and photos courtesy of Alfredo Torres, Monterey County Supervisor Luis Alejo, and the Pajaronian newspaper) ...
